saxumとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

saxum (複数形 saxa)

1. (astronomy) a boulder, in geographic names on asteroids

Latin

語源

From Proto-Italic *saksom, of unknown derivation. De Vaan rejects any connections with Proto-Indo-European *sek- (“to cut”), leaving it as unknown. This is due to the presence of the vowel a in the Latin word, reasoning that to obtain that vowel in that position, a laryngeal must be posited. The root *sek- does not have a laryngeal, ruling out a Proto-Indo-European derivation.^[1]
