lugeo

Latin

Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *lewǵ- (“to break, injure”) with a semantic shift to “be in pain” in the stative. Cognate with Ancient Greek λευγαλέος (leugaléos), λυγρός (lugrós), Sanskrit रुजति (rujati, “to break open, shatter, injure, cause pain”), Latvian lauzt (“to break, fracture”). Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *(s)lewg- (“to gulp, swallow, gasp”); compare Old Irish loingid (“to eat”) and Ancient Greek λύζω (lúzō, “to hiccup; to sob”), λυγγανώμενον (lunganṓmenon, “sobbing”), λυγμός (lugmós, “the hiccups”).^[1] In either case it may be influenced by onomatopoeia.

Pronunciation
