Latin · Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European * h₂enǵʰ- ( “ narrow, tight ” ) via a neuter s-stem noun * h₂enǵʰ-os ( “ narrowness ” ) combined with the adjective-forming suffix * -tós (equivalent to -tus ). Comparative data does not establish when the adjective was derived, but its form would hypothetically correspond to * h₂enǵʰostos in Proto-Indo-European and to * angostos in Proto-Italic or Pre-Latin: this became angustus by the Latin sound change of vowel reduction, which replaced * o with /u/ in non-initial closed syllables. The neuter s-stem noun (Proto-Indo-European * h₂enǵʰ-os , Proto-Italic * angos ) would have evolved regularly in Classical Latin to * angus, * angeris if it had survived. Another word potentially derived from this noun is the name of the goddess Angerōna .
The root is also found in Latin angō and angor , and in German eng , Sanskrit अंहु ( áṃhu ) , Old Church Slavonic ѫзъкъ ( ǫzŭkŭ ) .
