The story
- Ancient Greek · derived fromἈκράγᾰντᾰ
- Latin · derived fromAgrigentum
- Italian · borrowed fromAgrigento
- English todayAgrigento
Borrowed from Italian Agrigento, from Latin Agrigentum, possibly from the root words ager (“field”) and gēns (“clan, kin”), but more likely to be a corruption of Ancient Greek Ἀκράγᾰντᾰ (Akrágăntă), accusative of Ἀκράγᾱς (Akrágās), from ἄκρος (ákros, “at the edge”).
