þægilegrar

þægilegrar is an Old English adjective meaning "pleasant," "agreeable," or "convenient." It is the genitive singular feminine form of the adjective *þægilec*. The root of the word can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *þagilaz*, also related to the concept of being pleasing or suitable.

The adjective *þægilec* and its various inflected forms appear in a range of Old English texts, often describing things that are easy to deal with, comfortable, or generally good. For example, it might be used to describe a path that is easy to travel, a situation that is favorable, or a person whose disposition is amiable. The genitive form, þægilegrar, would be used in contexts requiring the genitive case, such as possession or after certain prepositions, and specifically when referring to a feminine noun. Understanding these inflections is crucial for accurately interpreting Old English prose and poetry. The semantic range of þægilegrar, therefore, is tied to the broader concept of positive qualities and ease.
