語源

From 中期英語 ago, agon (“passed”), past participle of agon (“to depart, escape, pass”), from 古期英語 āgān (“to go away, pass away, go forth, come to pass”), from Proto-Germanic *uz- (“out”), *gāną (“to go”), equivalent to a- +‎ gone, and by surface analysis, a- +‎ go. Cognate with German ergehen (“to come to pass, fare, go forth”). Compare also Old Saxon āgangan (“to go or pass by”), Gothic 𐌿𐍃𐌲𐌰𐌲𐌲𐌰𐌽 (usgaggan, “to go forth”).

使用する際の注意点

Ago renders a sense of doing or making which is continuative or behavioral. For a sense of a specific instance or occasion of doing or making, see facio. For a sense of doing or making which is yet more continuative, see agito and gero.

According to Döderlein, another difference between ago and facio when they mean "make" is that ago typically has to do with making something that does not continue after the "actor" stops doing the action; whereas with facio, the object continues to exist after the maker has made the thing. In other words, ago is temporal, whereas facio is spatial.

Reconstruction notes

Weiss explains the perfect ēgī as an imperfect to an original Narten present *h₂ḗǵ-ti, under the assumption that */h₂/ has no colouring effect upon an adjacent *ē (as per so-called Eichner's law). Pronk, on top of finding the evidence for Eichner's law itself inconclusive, dismisses Weiss' explanation as involving too many unlikely hypotheses, and presents De Vaan's explanation of ēgī as analogical after faciō, fēcī as the most reasonable hypothesis.
