πŒΌπŒΉπŒ»πŒΉπ„π‰πŒ½

Gothic

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin mΔ«litō (β€œto serve in the army”). Attested in Wulfila's Bible translation dating to the third quarter of the fourth century, it was according to Dennis Green likely borrowed sometime from the early third century onwards (when contact between Goths and Romans intensified due to the Goths reaching the Dacian frontier in their migrations) to denote the semantic difference between Gothic-style warfare (for which there existed a native word πŒ³π‚πŒ°πŒΏπŒ·π„πŒΉπŒ½π‰πŒ½ (drauhtinōn)) and the kind of army service Goths would have experienced (as auxiliaries or otherwise) in the Roman army.
