adja-stemwealthy, rich; prosperousfortunate, happy; blessedFrom *audaz + *-gaz, literally ‘possessing wealth or prosperity’ Kroonen 2013: 40, s.v. *auda-. The suffix continues Proto-Indo-European *-ko-s. Gothic 𐌰𐌿𐌳𐌰𐌲𐍃, Old English ēadig, Old Saxon ōdag, and Old High German ōtag support its reconstruction Kluge 1899: 99Lehmann 1986a: 47, s.v. audags. Old Norse auðigr may continue a parallel *audigaz, as Orel 2003: 28–29 reconstructs, or reflect later remodeling with productive *-igaz. ‘Wealthy, prosperous’ is probably primary; ‘fortunate, happy, blessed’ developed through the association of prosperity with good fortune Pimenova 2022: 957–58.
