Definition aegis

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin aegis, from Ancient Greek ????? (aigís, “goatskin; shield of Athena”), probably from ??? (aíx, “goat”), from Proto-Indo-European *h?ey?- (“goat”).

The plural form aegides (IPA: /?i?d???di?z/) is borrowed from Latin aegides, from Ancient Greek ???????? (aigídes).

Noun

aegis (plural aegises or aegides)

  1. (Greek mythology, Roman mythology) A mythological shield associated with the Greek deities Zeus and Athena (and their Roman counterparts Jupiter and Minerva) shown as a short cloak made of goatskin worn on the shoulders, more as an emblem of power and protection than a military shield. The aegis of Athena or Minerva is usually shown with a border of snakes and with the head of Medusa in the center. [from early 17th c.]
  2. (figuratively) Usually as under the aegis: guidance, protection; endorsement, sponsorship.
