|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[pollution]], [[guilt]], [[also expiation]] (Hdt.), <b class="b3">ἄγεα τεμένη</b> H. (Lesbian? Bechtel Dial. 1, 115).<br />Compounds: <b class="b3">ἐν-αγής</b> [[under a curse]], [[or pollution]] (Hdt.)<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Mostly connected with Skt. <b class="b2">ágas-</b> n. [[fault]], [[sin]], but the long vowel of Sanskrit is difficult. Explanation as psilotic form of <b class="b3">*ἅγος</b> belonging with <b class="b3">ἅγιος</b> preferred by Chantraine - Masson, FS Debrunner 85-107; but the psilosis is unexpected (not "so as to distinguish it from <b class="b3">ἅγιος</b>").
