intestinus

== Latin == === Etymology === The first element from inter (“between”) (so De Vaan 2008) or intus (“within; inwards”) (so WH 1938), both from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én (“in”) - cf. in (“in”), interior (“inner”), intrā (“on the inside, within”); the second element represents a compound with Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (“stand”) (Latin stō): zero-grade extended by -i-, or e-grade with later remodelling after -īnus (so De Vaan); or is a chaining of the suffixes *-tyo- and *-nós (so WH).
