pinson

pinçun, from popular Latin pincionem, accusative of pincio, of Gaulish origin (cf. Welsh pinc, Breton pint), from the same Indo-European root as German fink, Greek χρύσομιτρις, Russian penka "wren" and Sanskrit phingaka "drongo". Popular Latin also gave Catalan pinsà, Spanish pinzón, pinchón and Tuscan pincióne.
