Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Uncertain:
- *sъmъkъ, related to *sъmykati, *mъčati; it doesn't explain the vowel "o" in some descendants.
- *smъkъ, related to *smykati sę (“to creep, crawl”), Serbo-Croatian сму̑к (“adder”); it doesn't explain the vowel "o" in some descendants. For the meaning compare *pьlzati: *polzъ (> Czech plaz (“reptile”)), Ancient Greek ἑρπετόν (herpetón, “reptile”): ἕρπω (hérpō, “to crawl”), Latin serpēns (“snake”): serpō (“to creep, crawl”).
- Related to *smokъtati (“to smack?, suck?”).
- Influenced by the words above, from **snokъ, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *snakō (“snake”) (> Old English snaca > English snake), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sneg- (“to crawl”) (> Sanskrit नाग (nāgá)).
- From **snokъ, from **sъsnokъ, from Alanic *susnaka-, from Proto-Iranian *sušnaka-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćúšnas (> Sanskrit शुष्ण (śúṣṇa)).[1]
