dizgljin

Aromanian

Alternative forms

• dizgljinu
• dijgljin, dijgljinu
• disgljin, disgjlinu

Etymology

Uncertain; compare Romanian desghina, desghin, older variant of dezbina. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin *disglutinō, from Latin glutinō, or *disglinō, from Ancient Greek γλίνη (glínē, “tail”), although these etymologies are not certain. The Daco-Romanian form may also indicate the possibility of a root *disbinō from bīnī, although this would not work with the Aromanian.

Verb

dizgljin first-singular present indicative (past participle dizgljinatã)

1. to detach, separate, divide (e.g. branches, etc.)
