Etymology
[
edit
]
This theonym appears to be derived from
Proto-Celtic
*
Ad-s?g-lat-?
. That derivation literally means (
allative
) "sucking liquid", which may have been a byword for the notion of "suck-giving liquid"
[3]
The
Romano-British
form of this
Proto-Celtic
reconstruction would likely have been *
Adsuglata
.
