Where this word comes from
Unknown origin. Possibly from an earlier *kuri-spid-, a compound of curis (“alternative form of quiris (“spear”)”) + a Proto-Italic noun *spis (“lance”); the latter would be from Proto-Indo-European *spey- (“sharp point”), and related to Latvian spina and Russian спина (spina). However, dvandva compounds are quite abnormal within Latin, in addition to curis possibly being from the same unknown origin as cuspis to begin with.
