Where this word comes from
From Apua, the name of their chief city, probably from Proto-Indo-European *abʰ- (“abrupt, quick”), suffixed form *abʰ(o)-ua, through a language where *-bʰ became p, such as Ancient Ligurian or another Celtic language (compare Ancient Greek ἄφαρ (áphar, “quickly”)). According to Alessio and De Giovanni, from a Mediterranean substrate root *ap-/*apʰ (“sharp”), such as Sicanian.
