Derived from Proto-Indo-European *wi-n-k-, from the root *weyk- (“to curve, bend”) and the nasal infix *-n-. The nasal infix spread from the present stem to the perfect and supine stem. Per De Vaan 2008, the original present stem would have been Proto-Italic *wink-(e/o-) which would have regularly given Latin third-conjugation vincō, vincere, homophonous with vincō (“win; defeat”). (In fact, De Vaan argues that these verbs probably come from the same root.) The origin of the Latin fourth-conjugation present stem vincī- is unclear. De Vaan 2008 suggests this stem could have been taken from a derived noun *wink-i- or *wink-io-. (Compare prōvincia, apparently from the feminine of an adjective *prō-wink-io-.) Alternatively, Meiser 2003 argues that the present stems of vinciō and sanciō developed via back-formation from the perfect stems vīnxī and sānxī. Cognate with vicis, vicia, Ancient Greek εἴκω (eíkō).
vinciō (present infinitive vincīre, perfect active vīnxī, supine vīnctum); fourth conjugation
