"cagot" meaning in French

See cagot in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ka.ɡo/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-Ltrlg-cagot.wav Forms: cagote [feminine], cagots [masculine, plural], cagotes [feminine, plural]
Etymology: From Béarnais Occitan cagot, of uncertain origin. Many hypotheses have been advanced over time, often postulating some connection with the Visigoths, in accordance with folklore and historical speculation of their mysterious origin. The predominant hypothesis today posits that it is equivalent to Occitan cagar (“to defecate”) + -ot (diminutive suffix) (compare English insults "little shit", shithead, shitter, etc.); this could explain the many local variants, which would've arisen due to taboo deformation. Etymology templates: {{bor|fr|oc|cagot}} Occitan cagot, {{unc|fr|nocap=1}} uncertain, {{af|oc|cagar|-ot|nocat=1|pos2=diminutive suffix|t1=to defecate}} cagar (“to defecate”) + -ot (diminutive suffix) Head templates: {{fr-adj}} cagot (feminine cagote, masculine plural cagots, feminine plural cagotes)
