Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain.[1] Possibly from pre-Germanic *kudʰ-tó-m, with *-zd- perhaps arising from a special Germanic case of Bartholomae's law (but *-ss- is expected; cf. *(ga)wissiz < *wédʰtis), from Proto-Indo-European *kewdʰ- (“to cover, conceal, hide”) (compare Ancient Greek κεύθω (keúthō, “to cover, hide”), Proto-Brythonic *kʉðɨd (“to hide”) and Proto-Germanic *hūdijaną (“to hide”)) + *-tóm, thus the original meaning would be “that which is concealed or hidden”.[2]
