{{etym
|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: [[admirable]], [[noble]] (Il.).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Acc. to Schwyzer IF 30, 430ff., Aeolic = <b class="b3">ἀγα-Ϝός</b>; perhaps to [[ἄγαμαι]]. Ruijgh Lingua 25, 1970, proposes expressive gemination of the F. But a (IE or Greek) suffix <b class="b2">-u̯o-</b> is doubtful (Chantr. Form. 124: "le suffixe était mort en grec"); so perhaps the word is Pre-Greek. Differently Curtius 172, Solmsen KZ 29, 111, Burger REIE 1, 447ff.
