Ernout-Meillet:
'sagitta, -ae f. (i):
1° flèche;
2° objet en forme de flèche:
pointe d'une branche (cf. Isid., Or.17,5,7);
lancette; sagittaire (Plante); la Flèche (constellation).-
Ancien (Pl., Naev.), usuel. M.L. 7508.
Celt.: irl. saiget; britt. saeth.
Dérivés et composés:
sagittula, demeuré en ital., M.L. 7510;
sagit-ta:rius; sagitta:tus (Pl. Tri .242),
sur 1eque1 a été fait à l'époq. imp.
sagitto:, -a:s, qui a passé dans les l. romanes, M.L.7509,
d'où sagitta:tor; sagitti-fer, -pote:ns (poét.);
sagit(t)icum: Iouis barba, CGL III S76,50.

Sans doute mot d'emprunt à une langue non indo-européenne; l'arc et la
flèche ne sont pas des armes nationales à Rome. La finale -itta paraît
étrusque; Plaute scande sagita, cf. Havet, Man. crit. verb. § 1142,
Lindsay, Early Lat. Verse, p.115.'
