Proto-Slavic

Etymology 1

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ati (as a prefix: *at-), probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁óti, o-grade variant of *h₁éti (beyond, further; also), or alternatively from *h₂éti (but). Cognate with Lithuanian at- (back, away), Latvian at- (back away), Old Prussian at-, et- (back, away) (the latter from an apparent variant *et-).

Preposition

*otъ

  1. (with genitive) from, away from
  2. (with genitive) originating from, starting from (a place or time), since
  3. (with genitive) of, made of, consisting of
  4. (with genitive) out of (a selection)
  5. (with genitive) by (in passive; by the action of)
Usage notes

All modern Slavic languages except Polabian, Russian, Sorbian and Bulgarian have generalized ot to od, which is the statistically more prevalent form due to word sandhi (i.e. before vowels, sonorants and voiced consonants), and which was reanalyzed as the basic, normal form.
