Adjective [Swedish]

IPA: /ˈlɑːˌɡɔm/ Audio: sv-lagom.ogg
Rhymes: -²ɑːɡɔm Etymology: The adjective is attested since 1637, from the plural dative form of lag (“law”), so literally "with the laws". The adverb is attested since 1675. A common folk etymology states that it comes from laget om, meaning "to the whole team, group, retinue". The idea is that this is from the time of Viking long houses, where everyone would gather and drink mead and eat. In order for the mead not to run out, everyone would take not too little and not too much, so that there would be enough for the whole group.
