Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Disputed. Traditionally speculated to be a Gothic borrowing[1], presumably from an unattested *ga- (co-) +‎ *razdaz (sound, melodic), probably originally meaning “consonant, coherent”. If correct, then akin to Gothic 𐍂𐌰𐌶𐌳𐌰 (razda, speech). A problem with this hypothesis is that the expected proto-Slavic reflex of the proposed Germanic term should be **gorozdъ. Adolf Stender-Petersen alternatively proposes a native origin from Proto-Indo-European *ger- (to turn, to grasp, to craft) + *-azdъ.

Adjective

*gorazdъ[1]

  1. skilful, capable
  2. experienced, successful, prominent (in a field of expertise)
    great, important
