Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁-der.? Proto-Indo-European *yóh₁r̥ Ancient Greek ὥρα (hṓra) Proto-Indo-European *leǵ-der. Proto-Indo-European *léǵ-e-ti Proto-Hellenic *légō Ancient Greek λέγω (légō) Proto-Indo-European *-yósder. Ancient Greek -ῐος (-ĭos)? Ancient Greek -ιον (-ion) Ancient Greek ὡρολόγιον (hōrológion)bor. Latin hōrologiumder. Old Catalan orollotge Old Catalan relotgebor. Spanish reloj Borrowed from Old Catalan relotge (1362) (Modern Catalan rellotge), from the older orollotge, from Latin hōrologium, from Ancient Greek ὡρολόγιον (hōrológion). The current form of the word may partly be a back-formation of relojes, plural of obsolete reloje, which better conforms with the Catalan source and would explain the final j, which is rare in Spanish. Cognate with Old Galician-Portuguese relojo, Portuguese relógio, Greek ρολόι (rolói), French horloge, Italian orologio and Romanian orologiu.
