Elaborating on what says Jimeno Álvarez, ergative comes from the Greek ergon, action, and the verb ergadsomai, work, do produce. It is the case of the subject (the one who performs the action) of the transitive verbs in ergativas or absolutivas, as the Basque languages, Mayan languages, or cloth. In these languages the direct object of transitive verbs and the subject of the intransitive are in absolutive case.
