Proto-Slavic

Etymology 1

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *rodei- / *rodi-. Cognate with Latvian radît (to give birth to, to create). Further connections unclear:

  • Derksen doesn't see any obvious connections outside of Balto-Slavic.
  • Rix (LIV) reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *(H)rodʰ-eye-, a causative from a putative root *(H)rodʰ-.
  • Connections with Sanskrit वर्धते (várdhate, to grow, to thrive) are often suggested as well, although these are formally difficult because irregular loss of *-w- must occur.

Verb

*rodìti [1]

  1. to give birth, to bear
  2. to bear (fruit)
