Where this word comes from

Unclear, perhaps from a derivation of Ancient Greek σπορά (sporá, “seed”) like σποραῖον (sporaîon), but transmitted by Plutarch’s Questions 103 as Sabine, thus guessed from Etruscan, and perhaps natively related to spurcus (“foul”) of a suffix like murcus and to spurius (“bastard”).
