Later she came to Brittany from Celtic Gaul and was believed to be a goddess of hot springs and the origin of the Anglo-Celtic sun goddess, Sul.
Etymology
[edit]This theonym appears to be derived from Proto-Celtic *Ad-sūg-lat-ā. That derivation literally means (allative) "sucking liquid", which may have been a byword for the notion of "suck-giving liquid"<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Romano-British form of this Proto-Celtic reconstruction would likely have been *Adsuglata.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
