expergiscor

Latin

Etymology

Probably a middle (passive in form) from ex + per + regō + -ēscō. Alternative etymology derives the last two syllables from unattested *griscor, based on Proto-Indo-European *h₁ger- (“to awaken”), which dissimilated to *giscor after per-.[1] It is not known how the transitive sense for English "wake up" got no direct counterpart, putting expergiscor in a similar situation to Spanish gustar.
