Etymology

Uncertain. Maziulis points at West-Baltic feminine adjective *agla-, which he splits up into Proto-Baltic root *ag- “compel, force” (instead of expected *aś-; compare) and stem *-la-.[1] Smoczyński supports this theory, bringing up Lithuanian agnùs “vigorous” as a possible cognate.[2] Pokorny suggests Proto-Indo-European *agʰl(u)- “rainy weather”, from earlier *h₂eǵ-Hel- of the same meaning (hence Ancient Greek ἀχλύς (akhlús, darkness, fog).[3]

Noun

aglo f[1]

  1. shower, heavy rain
  2. rain with thunder
