Latin
Etymology
Of pre-Roman origin. Perhaps borrowed from a Proto-Basque *seguandelea, metathesis of *suge-andere-a (“female snake”), whence Basque suge-kandera ~ suge-kandela (“small lizard”, Lapurdian and Roncalese dialects).
A purely Latin etymology *serpenticula has also been suggested, but this runs into too many phonetic difficulties to take seriously.
Pronunciation
Noun
*sevandīlia f (plural *sevandīliās) (Proto-Ibero-Romance)
