Hades

See also: hades and Hadès

English

Etymology

From Ancient Greek ᾍδης (Hā́idēs). Possibly Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (“not”) + *weyd- (“see”), meaning "that which is unseen",[1] equivalent to ἀ- (a-) + εἶδον (eîdon). Puhvel (1987) argues that it is from *Sm̥weyd-, from *sm̥- (compounding stem) + *weyd- (“see”), meaning "see-together" or "uniter", equivalent to ἁ- (ha-) + εἶδον (eîdon), cognate with Russian свида́ние (svidánije, “see each other”), and partly in Sanskrit saṁgamanam janānāṁ (ingatherer of people), where *weyd- is replaced with *gam-.
