Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Verbal form of ōscillum (“swing”), or is the derivation the other way around? By surface analysis, obs- (“towards, against”) +‎ cillō (“to move”). What is the origin of cillō (not mentioned by de Vaan)? Is it perhaps derived as a back-formation from vacillō (“to sway, waver”)? Semantically and to some extent phonetically, it seems similar to celer (“fast, quick”). This article (Swinging on a Star: The Mythical and Ritual Schemata of Oscillation) claims unknown origin; however, it's written by history, not linguistics, professors.[1] Other theories identify ōscillum as a diminutive of ōs (“mouth”), as Bacchanal masks (resembling little mouths) would supposedly be hung from trees and swayed by the wind on them. This seems very folk-etymological, though.”
