Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Not entirely clear:

  • Vasmer: Akin to Lithuanian žaudùs, žiaudùs (“itchy, irritating”), formally matching related Proto-Slavic *zudъkъ (“itchy”) (whence Russian зу́дкий, зудко́й (zúdkij, zudkój, “itchy”)). Possibly further related to Old Norse kaun (“ulcer, abscess”) (Proto-Germanic *kauną).
  • Preobrazhensky: Perhaps deverbal from homophonous onomatopoeia *zuděti (“to buzz, to hum”). For the semantic development, compare the phrase Russian зуде́ть на у́хо (zudétʹ na úxo, “to vex, to nag”) (literally: “to buzz on one's ear”).
