Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἄργιλλος (árgillos, white clay, potter's earth), from ἀργός (argós, white).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /arˈɡiːl.la/, [ärˈɡiːlːʲä] or IPA(key): /arˈɡil.la/, [ärˈɡɪlːʲä]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /arˈd͡ʒil.la/, [ärˈd͡ʒilːä]
  • Unclear vowel length; a long vowel is implied by a number of the Romance descendants (contrast with the outcomes of capillus). The Greek etymon has a variable form, with one attested alternative being ἄργῑλος (árgīlos).
