Proto-Slavic

Etymology

edit

According to Derksen, inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kálˀdāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *kold-eh₂; cognate with Proto-Germanic *hultą (wood) and Ancient Greek κλάδος (kládos, branch, shoot). Ultimately may be from the root of *kolti, from PIE *kelh₂- (to beat, chop, hew).

The /ɡ/ of Old Church Slavonic глада (glada) is perhaps modified to resemble гладъкъ (gladŭkŭ, smooth; even), гладити (gladiti, to stroke; to smooth, polish), or otherwise unexplained.
