Etymology of CARPINO

The word "carpino" has its etymology rooted in Italian. It is derived from the Latin word "carpinus", which refers to the European hornbeam tree (Carpinus betulus). The Latin word "carpinus" itself is derived from the Latin word "carpere", meaning "to gather" or "to pluck", as it was believed that the leaves of the hornbeam tree were used to pluck or harvest the fruits of other trees in the forest. Over time, "carpinus" evolved into "carpino" in Italian, still referring to the hornbeam tree.
