Etymologie (Engels)

Either:
* borrowed from French inaugurer (“to inaugurate”), from Latin inaugurāre, the present active infinitive of inaugurō (“to take omens from the flight of birds, to divine, practise augury; to approve, consecrate, or inaugurate on the basis of omens; to install”); or
* a learned borrowing from Latin inaugurātus (“having been taken as an omen, divined; having been approved, consecrated, or inaugurated on the basis of omens; installed, having been installed”), the perfect passive participle of inaugurō;
+ English -ate (suffix meaning ‘to act in [the manner denoted by the word it is attached to]’). Inaugurō is derived from in- (prefix meaning ‘against; into; on, upon; to, towards’) + augurō (“to act as an augur, interpret omens, augur; to foretell, predict; to conjecture, guess”) (from augur (“soothsayer, augur”) (further etymology uncertain; see the entry) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs)).
