Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From an earlier *židъ + *-ъkъ (For *židъ cf. Polish żyd (“blot”)). Further origin disputed:
- Snoj, Vasmer: From Proto-Indo-European *gʷeydʰ-, akin to Ancient Greek δεῖσα (deîsa, “slime, filth”) (either via s-extension or perhaps cognate with related jā-stem *žiďa) and/or Old Norse kveisa (“colic”). Doubted by Derksen.
- Derksen: Instead akin to Old Armenian գէջ (gēǰ, “moist”) from Proto-Indo-European *g⁽ʷ⁾ʰeydʰ- (given as *gʰeydʰ- by Derksen).
- Machek: Related to Lithuanian gaidrùs, giẽdras (“clear, ludic”), Latvian dzidrs (“clear, transparent”) and questionably Latvian šķidrs (“liquid”), allegedly from (possibly s-mobile) Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰəyd- ~ *gʷʰēyd-. PIE reconstruction due to Pokorny based on presumed parallels with Ancient Greek φαιδρός (phaidrós, “bright”) (alternatively derived from unrelated *bʰeh₂- (“to shine”)).
