rota persica (Iranian wheel)

Etymology

[edit]

    From Proto-Italic *rotā, from Proto-Indo-European *Hróth₂-eh₂, from *Hreth₂- (to run, roll). The exact derivational pathway from this root is disputed:

    • De Vaan[1] and Nussbaum[2] derive Latin rota from a simple nominalization of the feminine singular of the agentive adjective *Hroth₂ós.
    • Stifter, also starting off from an agentive adnominal *Hroth₂ós, supposes that Latin rota instead derives from the neuter collective/plural.[3]
    • Höfler[4] and Yates,[5] by contrast, take Latin rota as an *(o)-éh₂ formation *(H)rotéh₂, and posit Sanskrit रथ (ratha) as from *(H)rot-h₂-ós, a possessive derivative of the feminine word.

        the axle was of gold, the pole of gold, all of gold
        the rim of the wheels, with a set of silver spokes.
    2. (pars pro toto) a car, a chariot
      Si rota defuerit, tu pede carpe viam.
      If you don't have a car, you'd better make your way on foot.
    3. (figuratively) the disc of the sun
      • c. 99 BCE – 55 BCE, Lucretius, De rerum natura 5:
        Hic neque tum solis rota cerni lumine largo
        altivolans poterat []
        Nor can the sun's disc larger be by much, nor its own blaze much less []
