sheath

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (‘to protect, guard, graze, feed’) + *-dʰrom or *-tróm, the suffix equivalent to *-drą; ultimately of the same origin as the "fodder" sense of Etymology 2, via a different semantic evolution from the basic sense of "to protect" rather than "to make protected" > "to feed".
