Etymology

From the more conservative variant mjedhër, from Proto-Albanian *mesdrā, presumably cognate with Lithuanian mẽdis (tree; wood) and Latvian mežs (wood); however, these are in fact from Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (middle). On both semantic and phonetic grounds, one might also consider a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *médʰu (honey, mead).
