gladiatorial (adj.)
词根:gladiator
adj.gladiatorial 争论的;斗剑者的

15世纪中期,“罗马剑客”,源自拉丁语 gladiator(女性形式 gladiatrix)“公共比赛中的战士; 剑客”,源自 gladius “剑”(没有 *gladiare 动词),这可能来自高卢语(比较威尔士语 cleddyf,康沃尔语 clethe,布列塔尼语 kleze “剑”; 参见 claymore)。古爱尔兰语 claideb 来自威尔士语。
The close connection with Celtic words for 'sword', together with the imperfect match of initial consonants, and the semantic field of weaponry, suggests that Latin borrowed a form *gladio- or *kladio- (a hypothetical variant of attested British Celtic *kladimo- 'sword') from [Proto-Celtic] or from a third language. [de Vaan]
与“剑”相关的凯尔特语词汇的密切联系,加上起始辅音的不完全匹配和武器的语义领域,表明拉丁语从[原始凯尔特语]或第三种语言借用了 *gladio- 或 *kladio- 的形式(已知的英国凯尔特语 *kladimo- “剑”的假设变体)。[de Vaan]
Latin, from gladius sword, of Celtic origin; akin to Welsh cleddyf sword
