词源

Learned borrowing from Late Latin carnyx, from Byzantine Greek κάρνυξ (kárnux, “carnyx”), from κάρνον (kárnon, “carnyx”) (both translating Galatian words into Greek), from Gaulish carno- (“horn of an animal”) (used in names), from Proto-Celtic *karnos, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“head, top; horn of an animal”).
