allēgŏrīzo, āvi, āre, v. n., = ἀλληγορέω,
I. to allegorize, to speak in allegories, Tert. Res. Carn. 27; Hier. Ep. 61 ad Pamm. 3.
Origins
Late Latin corruption of Ancient Greek ἀλληγορέω (allēgoréō, “to speak allegorically”), probably by analogy with other borrowings in -ίζω (-ízō) largely in Early Christian texts. Thence from ἄλλος (állos, “other”) + ἀγορεύω (agoreúō, “to speak in the assembly, harangue”), from ἀγορά (agorá, “assembly”), from ἀγείρω (ageírō, “to gather, collect”) from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ger- (“to assemble; collect; gather”), cognate with Latin grex (“flock”) and English cram.
