Definition

An archaic or obsolete verb, possibly meaning to carry towards or bring near; uncertain in precise modern meaning.

Etymology

Possibly related to Latin 'aggestum' or 'aggero,' but the exact etymology and original meaning are uncertain. This word has virtually disappeared from English usage.

Kelly Says

Aggest is so obscure that even historical dictionaries aren't entirely sure what it meant originally—it's a linguistic mystery word from Middle English that time has almost completely erased.
