Where this word comes from

From lucūns (“a type of pastry”) + -culus (diminutive suffix). Alternatively, the correct spelling has been argued to be lucuntulus, from lucūns + -ulus. Upon syncope of the unstressed vowel -u-, both of these alternatives would have merged as luncunclus, because of the Latin sound change from -tl- to -cl-.
