Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *xorostь (“beauty, pleasantness; convenience”) + *-ьnъ.[1][2][3][4] Obsolete and erroneous etymologies:
- It was supposed to be an alleged diminutive of *xòrbrъ (“brave”), whence Old East Slavic хоробръ (xorobrŭ), Ukrainian хоро́брий (xoróbryj) and Russian хра́брый (xrábryj).[5][4][6][3]
- Borrowed from Old Ossetic, whence Iron Ossetian хорз (xorz, “good”), Digor Ossetian хуарз (xwarz), Jassic horz, ultimately from Proto-Iranian; compare also Avestan 𐬓𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬰𐬌𐬱𐬙𐬀- (xᵛarəzišta-, “sweetest”).[2][5][3]
- Mistakenly considered[5][3], derived from the name of the Slavic god *Xъrsъ, more precisely from the irregular form **Xorsъ + *-jь, which gave the adjective **xoršь > Old East Slavic хорошь (xorošĭ).[6][4]
The origin is also mistakenly associated with Ukrainian га́рний (hárnyj, “beautiful; good”) or Proto-Slavic *xorniti, where Ukrainian хорони́ти (xoronýty) and Russian хорони́ть (xoronítʹ).[5][3]
