Frances Karttunen: 

CĒCO apart, separate / aparte, separadamente (Z) Of nine attestations in Z, four have the vowel of the first syllable marked long. In principle, this could be a reduction Of CECCO analogous to CECCĀN and CECNI, but it also seems to be an acceptable construction of CĒ ‘one’ plus the locative. –C(O). See CECCĀN, CECNI, CĒ, -C(O).
