Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Derksen reconstructs Proto-Balto-Slavic *gurˀdus, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷr̥dus, *gʷrd-o- (slow, heavy, tired), see also Lithuanian gurdùs, Latvian gur̃ds (tired), Ancient Greek βραδύς (bradús, slow).[1] The problem here is Slavic mobility with circumflex.

To ameliorate the problem, Matasović proposes to derive the word from an old compound *gʷrH-dʰh₁o, derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʷerH- ('to express approval, praise') and Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- ('to do, make, put'), with the semantic shift of 'making praises' > 'haughty, prepotent' > 'proud'. An exact parallel of the form can also be found in Proto-Celtic *bardos ('bard'), whence also English bard.[2]
