Etymology

From Old Norse prúðr, probably borrowed via Old English prūd (cf. English proud) from Old French prod, prod (cf. French preux, prud’homme), cognate with Italian prode (brave), Catalan prou (enough). The Romance adjectives derive from Late Latin prōde (valuable), a backformation from the verb Latin prōdesse (to be useful).
