ἀγαθός

See also: αγαθός

Ancient Greek

From Proto-Hellenic *əgatʰós, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *m̥ǵh₂dʰh₁ós (“made great; whose deeds are great”), from *méǵh₂s (“great”) + *dʰeh₁- (“do”) + *-ós. Compare Latin magnificus from same roots.

Beekes rejects an Indo-European etymology and assigns it as a Pre-Greek borrowing instead.[1][2]

ᾰ̓γᾰθός • (agathós) m (feminine ᾰ̓γᾰθή, neuter ᾰ̓γᾰθόν); first/second declension

Lua error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value)
