waxle:In a sense, the name "Esperanto" was the language's first idiom.
Since this was Zamenhof's chosen pen name, it makes sense. As a name for the language, it doesn't make much sense unless it is taken into the context and history of the language itself.

Why do you thing of the noun as the root? ("espero"); I always think of the verb ("esperi") then -ant, someone who performs the action stated, and -o, used as a name. A participle "participates" in the nature of a verb and a name, not of a name and a name. I am saying this without real thinking, really; it is my intuition that too much thinking in esperanto is counterproductive.
