Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ánˀd-, perhaps originally meaning “one on which to put on (fishing lure, bait)”, normally interpreted as derivative of *ǫ- +‎ *-da (locative particle) (Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (on) + *dʰeh₁- (to put)). Akin to Latvian uodne (bar on which the sleigh body stands), eñdas (part of a peasant's sleigh).

Alternative hypotheses conjure possible descent from Proto-Indo-European *wendʰ- (to wind) (per Mladenov) or from *ǫk- (hook, crook) +‎ *-da (per Meillet), initially meaning “something flexible, bendable, crooked”. Perhaps cognate with Albanian unazë (ring).
