Where this word comes from
From Ancient Greek Ἰλλυρία (Illuría), which may be from Illyrian. Of obscure origin, but possibly from a conjectural Illyrian *Hullurio (“(place or tribe) of the serpent”), from Proto-Indo-European *udlós. This is supported by the attestation of Hílurios by Plautus in Menaechmi (200s BC).
