gramatgo
Old Spanish
Etymology
From Latin grammaticus. Perhaps inherited instead of semi-learned, to judge by the syncope, and the existence of inherited terms in other medieval Romance languages (see the Latin etymon for cognates). The -tg- cluster may be equivalent to the -dg- cluster typical of 13th-century writing, as in judgar, -adgo. Attested once in the 12th-century Auto de reyes magos (see quotation). Non-synchronous doublet of grammático.
