DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Does persōna securely mean a mask through which sound passes?
No secure reviewed etymology derives it as Latin per plus sonāre. The historical sources instead report a probable Etruscan connection and treat the origin as difficult.
Review of competing persona origin argumentsKeeps the origin problem open rather than certain.
Is persona to phersu to prosōpon one certain chain?
No. Latin persōna to Etruscan phersu is probable in major references, while the deeper Greek comparison is proposed and contested.
Archaeological and textual reassessmentPrevents the Greek extension from being treated as uncontested.
