Proto-Celtic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *seǵʰ- (“to hold”) + *-rós (adjectival suffix).

  • Seemingly in an attempt to avoid the prospect of the insertion of an epenthetic *a into the zero grade of the root, Matasović attempts to derive the Goidelic terms from *soǵʰ-s-rós > *sōxs-ros > *sāxsros.[1]
  • Gordon points out that Matasović's derivation is uncompelling: there is no explanation for the o-grade of the root, and there are many Primitive Irish inscriptions (and the Gaulish name Ambisagrus) explicitly attesting *sagro- in personal names.[2]

Adjective

[edit]

*sagros[2][3][4]

  1. firm, stubborn, tenacious, steadfast
  2. outrageous
  3. insulting, humiliating
