Origins
Proto-Indo-European *-nós Proto-Italic *-nos Latin -nus Latin abiēgnus From abiēs (“silver fir”, oblique stem abiet-) + -nus (suffix forming relational adjectives). The -gn- seems to have developed by analogy with semantically similar adjectives in -nus derived from tree names with a stem-final velar consonant, such as salignus, larignus, īlignus from salix (“willow”), larix (“larch”), īlex (“holm oak”).
