rugio

See also: rugió

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *rougjō. Per De Vaan, related to Ancient Greek ἐρεύγομαι (ereúgomai, “roar”), ὀρῠμαγδός (orŭmagdós, “noise”), ὠρῡγή (ōrūgḗ, “noise, roaring”), and possibly related to rū̆dō (“(of lions) to roar; (of donkeys) to bray”). Despite the phonetic similarity to ērūgō (“belch”), De Vaan thinks cognacy is unlikely, viewing the semantics as a poor match (although Greek ἐρεύγομαι (ereúgomai) also has the meaning "belch", which De Vaan considers a homophone).^[1] Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewg- (“to roar”).

Pronunciation

(Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈruː.ɡi.oː/, [ˈruːɡioː] or IPA^(key): /ˈru.ɡi.oː/, [ˈrʊɡioː]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈru.d͡ʒi.o/, [ˈruːd͡ʒio]
The u in the first syllable is marked short by Lewis and Short as well as Gaffiot, but long by De Vaan (2008) and Wartburg (1928–2002).^[2] Buchi and Schweickard say that although the Romance outcomes require the reconstruction of Proto-Romance */u/ (as if from long ū), the quantity of the vowel in written Latin is uncertain.^[3]
