Meaning & usage
to name, to nominate
Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵ- (“to say”). Nussbaum considers the term to be a sā-present. Such terms were developed ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European present formed from the suffix *-seti, which was then converted into a noun (presumably via the suffixation of *-éh₂), followed by the addition of a denominative verb suffix. The original s-present is attested in Proto-Tocharian *āks-. Compare Latin aiō (“to say”), adagium (“proverb”), Ancient Greek ἠμί (ēmí, “to say”), Old Armenian ասեմ (asem, “to say”).
