Etymology

edit

From a Proto-Indo-European causative verb in *-éyeti from the root *sweh₂d- (sweet),[1][2][3] hence literally, to make sweet, pleasing. The stem of the original verb may have been either the zero-grade *suh₂d-éyeti,[2] as in Sanskrit सूदयति (sūdáyati, to make tasty), or the o-grade *swoh₂d-éyeti,[3] but in the end it was secondarily replaced with the full grade by influence of the related adjective suāvis (sweet).[2][3]
