Origins
Substantivation of apocopated Fāgūtāle, nominative neuter singular of Fāgūtālis (see -al), further ultimately derived from fāgus (“beech-tree”), perhaps through *fāgūtus ("covered with beeches") + -ālis, from fāgus, fāgūs (fourth declension alternative form of second declension fāgus, fāgī) + -tus.
