Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ū́ˀdrāˀ; compare Latvian ûdrs, Old Prussian udro, Proto-Slavic *vỳdra (“otter”),[1] from Proto-Indo-European *udreh₂, a substantivized feminine of *udrós (“aquatic, of water”). Compare Ancient Greek ὕδρα (húdra, “sea serpent”), Latin lutra (“otter”).[2]
The long vowel and acute accuentation are reflexes of Winter's Law (compare vanduõ (“water”), where Winter's law was blocked).
