UNCLE

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 578 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
UNCLE , the brother of a
person
 's father or
mother
 , also the
husband
  of one's aunt (i.e. the
sister
  of a father or
mother
 ). The
French
  oracle, which appears in Anglo-
French
  as uncle, comes from a
Late
  Latin unculus, a shortened form of the Latin avunculus, a maternal uncle, the brother of one's mother. The word is a diminutive of avus, grandfather. The Latin for a paternal uncle is patruus. " Aunt" comes through the Old French aunte, ante, corrupted into the
modern
  tante, from Latin amita, a father's
sister
 , a paternal aunt, the maternal aunt being called matertera.
