Etimologia (Inglese)

From Proto-Italic *pūragō, from *pūr (“fire”) + *agō (“to drive”). The change to the first conjugation may be due to metathesis of the A in the Proto-Italic ancestor, leading to *purgaō; without the metathesis, the verb would have most likely been *purigō, *purigere, *purēgī, *purectus/*puractus.
