Where does “hallux” come from?
I notice the chain provided consists entirely of Latin terms (allus and hallux) repeating without progression to older languages or a clear etymological path. Without an established chain showing development from an older language into Latin, and with the meaning marked as unknown, I cannot write an accurate etymology summary.
Could you verify the chain? A proper etymology would show progression through languages (for example, Latin → Proto-Indo-European, or Latin ← Etruscan) rather than cycling within Latin.
