ĕpĭtŏgĭum, ii, n. vox hibr. from ἐπί and toga,
I. a garment drawn over the toga, an upper garment, acc. to Quint. 1, 5, 68.

Origins

From Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “on-”) + toga + -ium (“relative adjective suffix”). In several attestations it's unclear whether the medial i is present, but such a formation built directly on the root without a relative suffix would be unexpected.
