To select is to gather apart.
Latin seligere combines se- “apart” with legere “gather, select.” The same gathering verb sits behind lecture, lesson, legend, and collect.

*leǵ- → legere → seligere → selectus → select

SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
opensupportsproposed
Is the deepest root *leǵ- or *sleǵ-?
The traditional *leǵ- reconstruction remains widely represented, while published scholarship argues that the gather or collect root began with *s. The graph preserves both analyses.
Root *leg-Publishes the traditional reconstruction.
opensupportsproposed
Is *leǵ- the only published deepest root shape?
No. The traditional *leǵ- analysis remains widely represented, while a published *sleǵ- reconstruction challenges the initial consonant and cautions against a simple semantic tale.
Root *leg-Publishes the traditional reconstruction.
opensupportsproposed
Is *leǵ- the only published root shape behind intelligent?
No. The traditional *leǵ- analysis remains probable, while *sleǵ- is a published alternative. Neither reconstructed shape is treated as an attested word.
Root *leg- and Latin reflexesSupplies the traditional gather-root analysis.
opencontextprobable
Does the root prove that reading is “gathering letters”?
No. Latin legere covers gathering, selecting, and reading, but the precise semantic steps cannot be recovered from a slogan alone.
root *leg-Publishes the deeper root comparison whose interpretation remains qualified.
opensupportsproposed
Is *leǵ- the only published deepest root shape?
No. Latin legere is traditionally compared with *leǵ-, while *sleǵ- remains a published alternative.
Root *leg-Publishes the traditional reconstruction and Latin reflex.
opensupportsproposed
Does Latin lēx securely descend from the gather root *leǵ-?
Not securely. A collection-of-rules bridge is plausible and published, but the direction, root shape, and precise cognates remain disputed.
Root *leg- and Latin reflexesPublishes the traditional comparison.

opencontextprobable
Did “gather” straightforwardly become “speak”?
The collect/say comparison is old and substantial, but a neat story about “gathering words” exceeds what the comparative forms alone can prove.
root *leg-Publishes the deeper comparison without turning the semantic bridge into a certainty.
