Etymology

A later variant of adā̆giō, ostensibly from ad- (“toward, to”) +‎ aiō (“say”)Category:Latin terms prefixed with ad-#AIO, but due to sporadic attestation and the word-internal a might not be inherited and rather formed to adigō (“drive, hurl, compel”), from ad- (“toward, to”) +‎ agō (“do, make”)Category:Latin terms prefixed with ad-#AGO. The word-internal a may be either by the same vowel harmony as in alacer, calamitās, segetis, or else means the vowel is long - cf. indāgō, contāgiō/contāgēs,^[1] as well as the fact that Varro associates it with ambāgiō, a variant of ambāgēs (“circumlocution”).^[2]
