Etymology edit
Of uncertain origin.
Probably a compound word. Its first component, स, is most likely स- (sa-, “conjunction prefix”); compare the usage of the related सम्- (sam-, “together”) in समुद्र (samudra, “sea”).
The second component, गर, has a more ambiguous interpretation. Various theories have been proposed:
- From गॄ (gṝ, “to devour”), whence गर (gara, “swallowing; a beverage”).
- From the same root that जल (jala, “water”) comes from, perhaps गल् (gal, “to drip”).
- Related to Ancient Greek ᾰ̓γορᾱ́ (agorā́, “assembly”).
- Less likely, from गॄ (gṝ, “to invoke, call; welcome, pronounce”), with the interpretation of the full word as "accompanied by praise".

Usage notes edit
Rare in practice. Its vrddhi derivative, सागर (sāgara), is used much more frequently instead.
