Sažetak

The Croatian nautical verb s u r g a t i (‘to throw anchor’, ‘to anchor’) of Romance origin was the subject of several etymological articles and mentioning. This paper represents the introductory part, necessary for discussing the current etymology of this verb and its formal/semantical parallels in some Romance idioms. It includes the following chapters: an overview of former studies dedicated to the etymology of this Croatian nautical term, a list of nautical terms with stem surg- and var. in numerous Croatian speeches, a list of medieval and later attestations of nautical terms (verbal and nominal forms) in Italian and in Medieval Latin. In the final notes we announce the content of the second part, mentioning also our etymological solution (lat. SUBREGĔRE, 3. ‘to hold from below’, ‘to support’, ‘to sustain’) as well as the hypothesis on formal merging of etymons in the case of the Romance verb sorgere and var.
