peregre

Latin

Alternative forms

  • peregrī

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *pereagro (that is beyond the surrounding land). By surface analysis, per + ager. The primacy of the ending and quality of its vowel is uncertain due to the general confusion between these two endings (cf. herĕ~herī̆, rūrĕ~rūrī).[1] Although in the three examples of graphic e in (Late Latin) poetry it must be scanned as long,[2] no Classical verse requires it and the short ĕ is testified to by Priscian.[3] Also pointing to a short vowel is the Late Latin 3d. declension adjective pereger, of whose n.sg. the present word was evidently felt to be an adverbial use.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈpe.re.ɡreː/, [ˈpɛrɛɡreː] or IPA(key): /ˈpe.re.ɡre/, [ˈpɛrɛɡrɛ]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈpe.re.ɡre/, [ˈpɛːreɡre]
  • Note: the length of the vowel is uncertain.

Adverb

peregrē̆ (not comparable)

  1. (of movement, of location) abroad; to, from abroad
    1. (Late Latin) (augmented by various prepositions)
