+ It is [[af|la|effugiō|-ium|t1=to escape]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) The verb is [[m|la|ex-]] with [[m|la|fugiō|t=to flee]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*fug-i-]] and [[ine-pro|*bʰug-i-|t=to flee]].^(de Vaan 2008) Servius compares the pair [[m|la|fuga|t=flight]] and ⟨effugium⟩ with [[m|la|lāna|t=wool]] and [[m|la|lānitium|t=wool-growth]].^(TLL)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Lewis & Short call it rare but classical, and compare [[perfugium]] and [[refugium]].^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is a means or way of escape, as Livy's giving someone a way out, and the act of escaping, as Lucretius' men saved by flight and Virgil's speaker, whose people will demand punishment for his escape.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) A glossary defines it as a place that receives a fugitive.^(TLL)
