Of unknown origin, but probably related to aquilus (“blackish, the color of darkness”), thus a "dark bird". An alternative theory deriving the word from a supposed Proto-Italic *aku-(a)wi-lā-s (“swift little bird”), the first two components related to acus (“needle”) and avis (“bird”), the third a diminutive suffix *lā-, with similar formation to accipiter (“hawk”), is morphologically unlikely.
Replaces Proto-Indo-European *h₃érō (“eagle”) due to taboo avoidance.
