+ The OLD and the TLL connect it with [[m|la|palma|t=palm of the hand]], though the TLL finds the formation unclear.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) Festus explains that vine shoots were given this name because they put out twigs like the fingers of a human hand.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) De Vaan traces [[m|la|palma]] to [[itc-pro|*palamā-]] and [[ine-pro|*plh₂-em-h₂-|t=flat, wide]], cognate with [[grc|παλάμη|tr=palámē|t=palm of the hand]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is a young branch or shoot of a vine, and Lewis & Short note two kinds, one bearing leaves and one bearing fruit.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It can stand for the whole vine, as Ovid's unwed tree-trunk without a vine.^(OLD 2012) It is also a twig or branch of any tree: Curtius has men pulling down the branches of tall trees with sickles.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin has “branch, shoot of a vine, vine”.^(Stelten 1995)
