## AI Etymology
Nuncle is a variant of uncle arising from misdivision of 'mine uncle' as 'my nuncle' (metanalysis); uncle itself is from Old French oncle, from Latin avunculus ('mother's brother'). Important recorded forms include oncle (Old French) and avunculus (Latin). The modern sense follows that older lexical line closely. In current use it covers uncle (archaic, especially as used by a fool to a master). The wider family includes related words such as uncle and aunt.
