adj a-stem present; being before or in the presence of someone From *anda- + *wardaz², literally ‘turned toward, facing (one)’, hence ‘present’. The second constituent belongs to the ablauting verbal-adjectival series *-wardaz ~ *-werdaz (‘turned’), beside *werþaną, with Verner's Law *d ~ *þ Faltings 2010: 588–89 Heidermanns 1993: 56, 658–59, 672–73. The West Germanic forms support *andawardaz, while Gothic reflects the *-werdaz variant, with *þ analogically restored after 𐍅𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌸𐌰𐌽 Heidermanns 1993: 672–73. Compare semantically Latin praesēns < praesum, an independent parallel for spatial ‘before, in front of’ > ‘present’ de Vaan 2008: 599 Lewis & Short 1879: s.v. praesum.
