Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/sъdorvъ
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
By surface analysis, *sъ- (“good”) + *dorv-. The exact origin of the second component *dorv- is uncertain:
- Per Meillet: from *sъ̀dorvъ with accent shifted by Dybo's law, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *súdarwas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁su-dʰor-wo-, from *h₁su- (“good”) + *dʰer- (“to support, hold”). *dʰ/*dH is required to avoid Winter's law, which is reflected in Lithuanian ū; thus, favored by Derksen over the *h₁su-dor(H)wo- theory below.[1]
- Related to *dьržati and Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰruwás (“firm, fixed”): Persian درود, Avestan 𐬛𐬭𐬎𐬎𐬀 (druua, “healthy”) and possibly Proto-Finnic *terveh (“healthy; whole”).[2]
- From Proto-Indo-European *h₁su-dor(H)wo-, from *h₁su- (“well, good”) + *dóru (“tree, wood”).
- Related to *dervo (“tree, wood”), *drъvo (“tree, (pl.) wood”) and Lithuanian sū́drus (“thick, dense”), Sanskrit सुद्रु (sudrú).[3] Further compare Albanian drenjë, dreng (“strong, healthy”), Proto-Germanic *triwwiz (“true”).
Compare Latin rōbustus (< rōbur), German kerngesund (< Kern).
