*snuzō
Runic: ᛊᚾᚢᛉᛟ Pronunciation: /ˈsnu.zɔː/noun · feminine · ō-stem
Meanings
daughter-in-law
Etymology
Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *snusós (‘daughter-in-law’). The remaking to an ō-stem (for an expected a-stem) is linked to the disappearance of feminine thematic stems in Germanic. Compare Proto-Slavic *snъxa (formally identical; both possibly from Proto-Indo-European *snuséh₂) and Latin nurus (remade as a u-stem, although compare proscribed nura).
