单词 dusēt
释义

dusēt

Latvian

Dusēt

Etymology

Originally the iterative form of dust (to feel shortness of breath) (still dialectally attested), from Proto-Baltic *dus-, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰus-, *dʰūs-, *dʰwes- (to blow), whence also Latvian dvest (to breathe). The original meaning of dusēt was thus “to breathe heavily” (still visible in the related term aizdusa “shortness of breath”) from which “to breathe audibly” > “to breathe deeply (as in sleep)” > “to sleep.” Cognates include Lithuanian dùsti (to choke, to stilfe), dusė́ti (to breathe heavily; to sob), Old Church Slavonic дꙑхати (dyxati, to breathe, to blow), Russian дышать (dyšatʹ, to breathe), Belarusian ды́хаць (dýxacʹ), Ukrainian дихати (dýxaty), Bulgarian дишам (díšam), Czech dychati, Polish dychać.[1]
