Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Cognate with Lithuanian trandi̇̀s (woodworm), Latvian trûdi (mold), from a Proto-Balto-Slavic *trond-. Derksen leaves the further origin open,[1] though Sanskrit तृद् (tṛd, to split, pierce) and Ancient Greek τερηδών (terēdṓn, woodworm) are often compared,[2] assuming an original sense of "that which burrows and splits (from within)" and a derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *terd- (to drill, split).[3]
