- segregate
- segregate: [16] The etymological idea underlying segregate is of ‘removal from a flock’. The word comes from Latin sēgregāre, a compound verb formed from the prefix sē- ‘apart’ and grex ‘flock’ (source also of English aggregate, congregation, egregious [16], and gregarious [17]).
=> aggregate, congregation, egregious, gregarious - segregate (v.)
- 1540s, from Latin segregatus, past participle of segregare "set apart, lay aside; isolate; pide," literally "separate from the flock," from *se gregare, from se "apart from" (see secret (n.)) + grege, ablative of grex "herd, flock" (see gregarious). Originally often with reference to the religious notion of separating the flock of the godly from sinners. In modern social context, "to force or enforce racial separation and exclusion," 1908. Related: Segregated; segregating.
