Meanings

wet

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *ned- (‘wet’), which Kroonen tentatively considers a deverbal root from *unod-o-, ultimately from *wed- (‘water’). Cognate with Sanskrit उन्द् (und) (und, ‘to wet, well up, moisten’), whence उनत्ति (unátti); compare also Ancient Greek νοτερός (noterós) (noterós, ‘damp, wet, humid’), Welsh nodd (‘wetness, humidity, sap’).
