Etymology edit

Borrowed from a South Slavic language, ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic *čudo (“miracle, wonder”). Compare Serbo-Croatian čudo (“miracle, wonder”) and Bulgarian чудо (čudo, “miracle”); compare also Romanian ciudă (“fury, grudge, envy”), Hungarian csoda (“miracle, wonder”). Initially rendered as çudë, while çudi is a back formation from the verb çudit (“to surprise”), itself derived from Proto-Slavic *čuditi (“to be surprised”).^[1]^[2]^[3]
