Latin

Etymology

Possibly a verb built to *egos ~ *egezos (whence egestās) according to the model of pairs such as timeō beside timor. The term has been connected with the root root *h₁eg- (“to lack”). Within Italic, perhaps related to Oscan egmo.

     Quid quaeris? Vivo et regno, simul ista reliqui

     Pane egeo iam mellitis potiore placentis.
