Esquiliaeとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Perhaps either:

• related to inquilīnus (see also Esquilīnus), from *eks +‎ *kʷe/ilō +‎ *-jā, with /eks/ → /esk/ metathesis as seen in escendō; acvording to the legend the district was later added to Rome by the king Servius Tullius (Liv.1.44) to cope with the evergrowing flow of new Roman subjects; it would then mean: "the district of sojourners (or dwellers), once foreigners, living outside the city (pre-Servian Wall)". Or,
• from aesculus (“a kind of oak”), compare Viminālis mons (literally “willow, osier hill”).
