   • 2013, Angus Deaton, The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality:

     All of this is nonsense, but so are all attempts to look at a few successes and a few failures and make fatuous generalizations based on coincidence. Etruscan and Roman haruspices did the same thing with the entrails of chickens.

Translations

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *haruspeks, equivalent to haru- (“intestines”) +? *spex. The first component is related to h?ra; the second is from the root of speci? (“to observe, watch”). Compare Faliscan ????????????????????????(????????) (harisp(ex)).According to Nocentini the first part stems from Proto-Indo-European *??er- (“intestine”), whence also Latin hariolus, hernia (“hernia”), and it is cognate to Ancient Greek ????? (khord?), Proto-Germanic *garn? (“intestines”) (whence German Garn) and to Lithuanian žarnà (“intestine”). The component -spex can also be found in the word auspex.
