epitogium

Latin

Alternative forms

  • epitogum (variant reading)

Etymology

From Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “on-”) +‎ toga +‎ -ium (“relative adjective suffix”). In several attestations it's unclear whether the medial i is present, but such a formation built directly on the root without a relative suffix would be unexpected.
