Etymology

From Proto-Italic [Term?], from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teg- (“to cover”). By surface analysis, tegō (“to cover”) +‎ -ula. For the meaning development compare German Kachel. Though the sense “frying-pan” has been said to be derived from Ancient Greek τάγηνον (tágēnon), τήγανον (tḗganon), this is formally difficult; the distinction between it and “rooftile” may thus be seen as unfounded.

The long vowel is difficult to explain, but according to some authors it is an artifact of early simplification of the cluster *gdʰ in *teg-dʰlom (see -bulum for the suffix); compare rēgula. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Contrast the later formation tegulum, with a short vowel.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈteː.ɡu.la/, [ˈt̪eːɡʊɫ̪ä]
