Adjective

IPA: /a.ɡa.tʰós/, /a.ɣaˈθos/, /a.ɣaˈθos/, /a.ɡa.tʰós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.ɡaˈtʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *əgatʰós, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *m̥ǵh₂dʰh₁ós (“made great; whose deeds are great”), from *méǵh₂s (“great”) + *dʰeh₁- (“do”) + *-ós. Compare Latin magnificus from same roots. Beekes rejects an Indo-European etymology and assigns it as a Pre-Greek borrowing instead.
