Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Considered a borrowing[1] from Proto-West Germanic *naut (“cattle”), likely fossilized as a collective of an earlier *nuto n + *-a. Probably cognate with Latvian nauda (“money”), Lithuanian naudà (“use, benefit”), whence dialectal Belarusian но́ўда (nóŭda), навда́ (navdá, “use, benefit”), Polish nawda (“advantage”).
