Proto-Slavic

edit

Etymology 1

edit

Probably causative from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedH- (to utter, to call), cognate with Sanskrit वादयति (vādayati, to convince, to make to speak), Ancient Greek αὐδάω (audáō, to utter). Further akin to Sanskrit वाद (vāda, speech, advice), वदति (vadati, to speak, to tell), Ancient Greek αὐδή (audḗ, voice).

Often compared with Lithuanian vadìnti (to call) and Latvian vadinât (to lure), however, no concensus has been reached if the Slavic verb is related to either of them. Derksen considers it phonologically problematic.

Etymology 2

edit

Most likely an intensive counter-part[1] of *voditi (to conduct) with enlonged grade, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *wádīˀtei, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (to lead, to conduct).

Alterantively, akin to Sanskrit वधति (vadhati, to slay), Ancient Greek ὠθέω (ōthéō, to push), Hittite [script needed] (ḫuett(i)-, to pull, pluck) (per BER), presumably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedʰ- (to pluck, to jerk).

Verb

edit

*vàditi impf[1]

  1. to draw, to tug, to haul
  2. (by extension) to pull out, to extract

Etymology 3

edit

Identical with one of the above etymologies, but unclear which.

Has been speculated as the origin of personal name Old East Slavic Вадимъ (Vadimŭ) (whence Russian Вади́м (Vadím), Ukrainian Вади́м (Vadým), Belarusian Вадзі́м (Vadzím)), alternatively viewed as corruption of Old Church Slavonic Владимиръ (Vladimirŭ).
