[edit]The Dacians had a special symbol for fertility, vital force and love: the he-goat named by them “Trago”. The other part of “Dragobete” came from a forgotten Dacian word “pede” which means legs. Due to the language evolution over centuries these two words became later Drago-Bete and formed a single name with a different meaning. It might be strange for you why these “legs” are connected to love… but don’t forget that ancient civilizations (like Dacians) performed magic rituals on certain occasions.
the legs of a he-goat ? That's silly.
Anyway, it's pretty clear that this word has a Slavic root, the same like drag, dragoste, etc. Bogdan | Talk 22:21, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Why to you find silly the goat legs? In the greek mythology the Satyr have a goat-like aspect and is also a fertility symbol. (Nicubunu 15:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC))
