复数:agoras或agorae或agorot或agoroth
1590年代,“城镇的主要公共广场和市场; 在这样的地方举行的大众政治集会”,源自希腊语 agora “人民集会”(与酋长会议相对); “集会的地方; 市场”(这种集会的典型场所),源自 ageirein “集合”(源自 PIE 词根 *ger- “聚集”)。
这个希腊词也可以意味着“公开演讲”和“待售物品”。与之相似的是罗马的 forum。
Noun (1) borrowed from Greek agorá, noun derivative of ageírein "to gather, assemble," of uncertain origin Note: An Indo-European base *h2ger- is reconstructible, but Greek ageírein has no easily recognizable congeners. Comparisons with Latin greg-, grex "flock" (allegedly from a reduplicated *gre-g-) and further forms with assumed root extensions from a base *gr- are extremely tenuous. Noun (2) borrowed from Modern Hebrewʼăgōrāh, going back to Hebrew, "payment, coin," derivative of ʼāgar "to hire"
