editFrom Proto-Italic *plekāō, from Proto-Indo-European *pleḱ- (“to plait, to weave”) (with i from its compounds, which had much use), the PIE root being an extension of Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to wrap”). Cognate with plectō.[1]
Pronunciation
edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈpli.koː/, [ˈplʲɪkoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈpli.ko/, [ˈpliːko]

- (transitive) to fold, bend or flex; to roll up
- (late, non classical meaning) (transitive) to arrive (this meaning comes from sailors, for whom the folding of a ship’s sails meant arrival on land)
