Glagolitic, a.|glægəˈlɪtɪk|
[ad. mod.L. glagolitic-us (cf. Ger. glagolitisch), f. Serbo-Croat. glagolica (c = ts), the Glagolitic alphabet, f. the Common Slavonic glagol, word.
The reason for the name is uncertain; it is conjectured (Miklosich Glagolitisches Alphabet in Ersch & Gruber Encycl.) that glagol may in some dialect have had the sense of ‘letter’; similarly slovo, which in Slavonic generally means ‘word’, has also the sense of ‘letter’ in Croatian.]
The distinctive epithet of the ancient Slavonic alphabet (called also ‘Hieronymian’, ‘Illyrian’, and ‘Slovenish’) still retained in the service-books of the Roman Catholics of the Slavonic rite in Dalmatia, etc.; also used as a designation of the Roman Catholics of the Slavonic rite.
