In a recent paper on «Una palabra dificil: Lat. exīlis», Emilio Nieto (1987) offers a novel etymology of the Latin adjective exīlis ‘thin’. Whereas I completely agree with his critique of earlier attempts, I find Nieto’s own proposal unconvincing. The reasons for my verdict will become evident in the bulk of the present paper.
