rugio

See also: rugió

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *rougjō. Per De Vaan, related to Ancient Greek ἐρεύγομαι (ereúgomai, “roar”), ὀρῠμαγδός (orumagdós, “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). 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). 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.
