Editing Glagolitic script (section)

==Name and etymology==
The word ''glagolitic'' comes from [[Neo-Latin]] {{lang|la|glagoliticus}} and [[Croatian language|Croatian]] {{lang|hr|glagoljica}}, from [[Old Church Slavonic]] {{lang|cu|ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⱏ}} (''glagolŭ''), meaning "utterance" or "word".<ref name=dictionary/>

The name ''glagolitsa'' is speculated to have developed in [[Croatia]], around the 14th&nbsp;century, and was derived from the word ''glagoljati'', literally "verb (''glagol'') using (''jati'')", meaning to say [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]] in Old Church Slavonic liturgy.<ref name=CorbettComrie2003>{{cite book |last1=Corbett |first1=Greville G. |last2=Comrie |first2=Bernard |year=2003 |title=The Slavonic Languages |publisher=Routledge |location=Milton Park, UK |isbn=978-1-136-86137-6 |page=29 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=euI4CQAAQBAJ |url-status=live |access-date=2021-04-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420164058/https://books.google.com/books?id=euI4CQAAQBAJ |archive-date=2021-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hrvatski jezični portal |trans-title=Croatian language portal |url=http://hjp.znanje.hr/index.php?show=search_by_id&id=fFdgXxY%3D&keyword=glagoljati |access-date=April 22, 2021 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422154051/http://hjp.znanje.hr/index.php?show=search_by_id&id=fFdgXxY%3D&keyword=glagoljati |archive-date=April 22, 2021}}</ref>
