Etymology

This theonym appears to be derived from Proto-Celtic *"Ad-sūg-lat-ā". That derivation literally means "(allative)" sucking liquid," which may have been a byword for the notion of ‘suck-giving liquid’ (cf. [http://www.wales.ac.uk/documents/external/cawcs/PCl-MoE.pdf] [http://www.wales.ac.uk/documents/external/cawcs/MoE-PCl.pdf] [http://www.indo-european.nl/cgi-bin/query.cgi?root=leiden&basename=%5Cdata%5Cie%5Cceltic] ). The Romano-British form of this Proto-Celtic reconstruction would likely have been *"Adsuglata" (cf. [http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/dwew2/diachrony.pdf] [http://journals.cambridge.org/article_S0022226702001706] [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?tocId=74849&query=available%20name&ct=] [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?tocId=74843&query=ogham&ct=] ).
