Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Pre-Slavic *salˀdukas, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *salˀdus, where *soldъ. Cognate with Lithuanian saldùs and Latvian salds.
It is in turn derived from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂el-d-u-s, extended form of *sh₂el-, *séh₂ls (“salt”) (whence also *solь (“salt”)). The original meaning of the Balto-Slavic word was thus "salty; tasty, delicious; spicy".
