polluceo.

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *per- Proto-Indo-European *pr̥- Proto-Italic *por- Latin por- Proto-Indo-European *leyk- Proto-Indo-European *-yeti Proto-Indo-European *-éyeti Proto-Indo-European *loyk-éye-ti Proto-Italic *loikeō Latin pollūceō From por- (“forth”) + Proto-Italic *loikeō (“to make available, offer”, causative), from a tentative Proto-Indo-European *leyk- (“to be available, to be on offer”), a different grade of which gave liceor. One inscription from Sora contains the form POLOVCTA, which theoretically preserve an older unmonopthongized *-ow-, in which case the Proto-Italic pre-form could not have *-oi. However, this evidence is not reliable: The same inscription also contains monotphongized VOTO (< *woweto-), and evidence from the surrounding regions also attests to early monophthongization. Thus, the form from Sora is probably a deliberate archaism, or perhaps an accurate representation of a phonological development particular to that dialect whereby *oi became *ou. Within Latin, related to polliceor. Compare also other verbs of offering with the prefix por-, such as porriciō (“to make an offering of”) and porrigō (“to offer, hold out”).
