4. From Latin pecuniarius, "of, or pertaining to money"; derivative of pecunia, "property, money" (from pecu(s), "cattle"; derivative of pecu, "flock" or "herd").
In the nomadic period of Indo-European civilization, before money in precious metal or other compact symbols was thought of, a man's wealth was reckoned in flocks and herds.
The Latin pecus means "cattle", and the derivative pecunia originally meant, "property in cattle". As civilization advanced and wealth was represented by many things other than cattle, the old word was kept with the broader new meaning.
When "money" was invented and adopted as a measurement of wealth, the word pecunia took on the new meaning of "money". Derived from this was the adjective pecuniarius, "relating to or consisting of money", from which English gives us pecuniary.
