Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *ned- (“wet”), which Kroonen tentatively considers a deverbal root from *unod-o-, ultimately from *wed- (“water”). Cognate with Sanskrit उन्द् (und, “to wet, well up, moisten”), whence उनत्ति (unátti);[1] compare also Ancient Greek νοτερός (noterós, “damp, wet, humid”), Welsh nodd (“wetness, humidity, sap”).
