Old Polish
Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps a reduction of *ni *že *edinъ (“not one”), or possibly from żędać + -ny, with constructions such as nie było tam żądnego człowieka (lit. “the wanted person was not there”) being reinterpreted as “no person was there”, where the form with -a would have been the result of Old Czech influence, making żądny native.[1] First attested in the 14th century. Compare Old Czech žádný.
