Etymology

1. Etymology tree
2. Proto-Indo-European *h₂ey-
3. Proto-Indo-European *-u
4. Proto-Indo-European *h₂óyu
5. Proto-Indo-European *-Hō
6. Proto-Indo-European *h₂yéwHō
7. Proto-Italic *juwō
8. Latin iuvenis
9. Inherited from Proto-Italic *juwō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yéwHō (“young”). Cognate with Sanskrit युवन् (yúvan), Persian جوان (javân), Old Irish óc (early OIr: óac), Old English ġeong (whence English young). The Latin nominative singular form iuvenis is an innovation replacing expected *iuvō (compare Sanskrit युवा (yuvā)). The ending -is was introduced from i-stem nouns. However, in forms other than the nominative singular, iuvenis continues to be inflected in Latin as a consonant-stem noun. Compare canis from *ḱwṓ.
10. The second syllable shows no vowel weakening, even though *-e- in medial open syllables usually became Latin -i-. The -e- might have been retained by analogical influence from the antonym sen- (“old man”), or alternatively, from the suffixed forms iuventūs, iuventās. See: English Nouns 'young'.
