Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/siduz
Proto-Germanic
Alternative forms
- *seduz
Etymology
Uncertain. On the suggestion that the meaning "custom" developed from "band, bond", Kroonen tentatively reconstructs Pre-Germanic *sh₂itús (“bond, rule, tradition”), from Proto-Indo-European *seh₂y- (“to bind”).[1]
Another possibility, though implausible because it would require *swid-, lies in derivation from Proto-Indo-European *swedʰ- (“wont, habit, custom”), cognate with Ancient Greek ἦθος (êthos, “character; custom, habit”), Sanskrit स्वधा (svadhā, “wont, custom, pleasure”), Latin suēscō (“grow accustomed, habituate, acclimate, train”), Latin sodālis (“mate, companion, comrade”).
