ETYMON. 1. In the theory of
LANGUAGE of the Stoic philosophers of ancient Greece, the true original form of which a current word is the degenerate descendant.
2. In
PHILOLOGY, the earliest traceable form from which a later WORD is derived: for example,
rex/regis (king) is the Latin etymon of English
regal, while the Indo-European verbal
ROOT *
reg- (to move in a straight line, lead, rule) is the etymon of
rex/regis, of Sanskrit
rājā, and of the suffix
-ric in
bishopric. See
