εὕδω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Unknown. There are several unconvincing suggestions: the first links the word to Gothic 𐍃𐌿𐍄𐌹𐍃 (sutis, “mild, tolerable”), and further to Latin sūdus (“bright, clear”). The second one derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *swep- (“to sleep”), the same root of ὕπνος (húpnos, “sleep”) and Sanskrit स्वपिति (svapiti, “to sleep, slumber”); however, this is very unlikely, because of the schwebeablaut involved. The third suggestion connects the word to Old English swodrian (“to sleep tight”).
