Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Pre-Slavic *salˀdukas, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *salˀdus, where *soldъ. Cognate with Lithuanian saldùs and Latvian salds.

It is in turn derived from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂el-d-u-s, extended form of *sh₂el-, *séh₂ls (salt) (whence also *solь (salt)). The original meaning of the Balto-Slavic word was thus "salty; tasty, delicious; spicy".
