Where this word comes from
From Old Latin populus (since mid-2nd c. BC), from earlier poplus, from even earlier poplos (attested already since early 5th c. BC), from Proto-Italic *poplos (“army”), further origin unknown; perhaps from Etruscan or from the root of pleō (Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁- (“to fill”)). See also plēbs, from the root of pleō.
poplar tree
Where this word comes from
Unknown. Compare Ancient Greek πτελέα (pteléa, “elm”), Proto-Slavic *topolь (“poplar”). Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *po-h₂pel-o-, from a root *h₂pel- also found in Ancient Greek ἀπελλόν (apellón), although the initial *po- is left unexplained. It is possible that some or all of these terms were borrowed from the same substrate continuum.
