[edit]Etymology
[edit]Disputed:
- Meillet, Mladenov: From an amalgamation of Proto-Indo-European *úd (“out”) + *h₂nu (“on, at”), nearly exact cognate with Proto-Germanic *ūtanē (“outside of”). First element akin with Proto-Slavic *vy(d) (“out”), second with Proto-Slavic *na (“on”).
- Vasmer, Zubatý: From reanalysis of Proto-Indo-European *wónm̥ (“alien, external space”), cognate with Sanskrit वन (vána, “wood”).
- Trautmann, Snoj: Related to Proto-Slavic *voňь (“smell, odour”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breath”) or from a nasal infix of *h₂weh₁- (“to blow wind”), via semantic development odour → air, athmosphere → open/unbounded space, outside. Cognate with Old Prussian winna (“air”).
