adagiumとは 意味・読み方・使い方

別の表記

• adā̆giō

語源

A later variant of adā̆giō, ostensibly from ad- (“toward, to”) +‎ aiō (“say”), but due to sporadic attestation and the word-internal a might not be inherited and rather formed to adigō (“drive, hurl, compel”), from ad- (“toward, to”) +‎ agō (“do, make”). The word-internal a may be either by the same vowel harmony as in alacer, calamitās, segetis, or else means the vowel is long - cf. indāgō, contāgiō/contāgēs, as well as the fact that Varro associates it with ambāgiō, a variant of ambāgēs (“circumlocution”).

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [aˈdaː.ɡi.ũː], [aˈda.ɡi.ũː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [aˈdaː.d͡ʒi.um]

Note: the length of the vowel is unattested.
