igitur

== Latin == === Etymology === (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) Uncertain. According to De Vaan, it probably has the same etymology as agitur (“it is done”) (passive third-person singular of agō (“to do, act”)), from Proto-Italic *agetor: if so, the change of *a- to i- in the first syllable is an example of pre-Latin vowel reduction (weakening) in an unstressed non-initial syllable, caused by the conjunction habitually being placed after other words, e.g. quid. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɪ.ɡɪ.tʊr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈiː.d͡ʒi.tur] === Conjunction === igitur (usually postpositive classically) therefore, then, consequently Synonym: proinde === References === === Further reading === “igitur”, in Charlton T.
