Etymology

[edit]

Literally, “army leader”, with the constituents inherited from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂wos (people (under arms)), whence Ancient Greek λαός (laós), and *h₂eǵ- (drive, lead). A borrowing from the Hellenic cognate has also been suggested: compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀨𐀷𐀐𐀲 (ra-wa-ke-ta /⁠lāwāgetās⁠/, military leader), Doric Ancient Greek λᾱγέτᾱς (lāgétās, leader of people).
