adagiumとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Disputed. Weiss derives the term from ad- +‎ *ā̆g- + -ium. According to this theory, the element *ā̆g- reflects the root of aiō, from earlier *agjō. The term must have escaped the development of *-gj- > *-jj-, perhaps as a consequence of i-epenthesis before consonantal yod (i.e. a preform *adā̆gijom). De Vaan, however, rejects this proposal, citing the "sporadic" and "late" attestation of this term as justification. Alternatively, De Vaan suggests that the term was derived from adigō.
