antiguo

Spanish
Etymology 1
From Old Spanish antigo, from Latin antīquus (variant form antīcus). The form antiguo in Spanish was probably the result of influence from the feminine form antigua on the older antigo[1]. Compare Ladino antigo, Portuguese antigo, Catalan antic, Italian antico. Cf. Old French antif, which was also influenced by its feminine form antive (both replaced in modern French by a borrowed form antique).
