Etymology

From Proto-Italic *pereagro (that is beyond the surrounding land). By surface analysis, per +‎ ager. The primacy of the ending and quality of its vowel is uncertain due to the general confusion between these two endings (cf. herĕ~herī̆, rūrĕ~rūrī).[1] Although in the three examples of graphic e in (Late Latin) poetry it must be scanned as long,[2] no Classical verse requires it and the short ĕ is testified to by Priscian.[3] Also pointing to a short vowel is the Late Latin 3d. declension adjective pereger, of whose n.sg. the present word was evidently felt to be an adverbial use.

Pronunciation
