Old Galician-Portuguese
Etymology
Derived from Latin venēnum, though it is not clear how. The /ˈi/ is straightforwardly accounted for by the late 'vulgar' variant venīnum; cf. Old Spanish venino. In the unexpected survival of intervocalic /n/ (let alone twice), some or even all of the following factors may have been involved:
- Partial degree of blending or compromise with the literary Latin form venēnum.
- A rejection of the expected *v(ẽ)inho due to impending homophony with vinho (“wine”).[1]
- Influence from neighbouring Ibero-Romance varieties that regularly retain /-n-/; cf. especially the Old Spanish variant vinino.
Its modern counterparts, Galician veleno and Portuguese veneno, appear to have been borrowed anew from Latin.

1409, J. L. Pensado Tomé, Tratado de Albeitaria, Santiago de Compostela: Centro Ramón Piñeiro, page 119:ffazese nas costas do Cauallo hũa door que faz jnchaço grande et geerase daquel jnchaço carnes podres, et esto ven da sella que he maa ou do gran carrego que o preme moito, et aas vezes dura moito este jnchaço, fazese ende hũa peça de carne poçoenta que chega aos osos et sal vinino ou agooa.- An ache that produces a large swelling appears on the flanks of the horse and necrotic tissue spreads from it. This results from a poor-quality saddle or an excessive load weighing down on . Sometimes it goes on for a considerable time, resulting in a mass of necrotic tissue that reaches down to the bones and from which pus or water comes out.
