Galician[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Attested since the 14th century. From Old Galician-Portuguese [Term?], from Latin ēnecāre, present active infinitive of ēnecō (I kill), or through a Vulgar Latin form *adnecāre, derived from necō. Compare Portuguese anegar, Spanish anegar, French noyer, Italian annegare, Romanian îneca, which also received the specialized sense of "to drown" from Late or Vulgar Latin.

Pronunciation[edit]
