ужин
Russian edit
Etymology edit
Inherited from Old East Slavic ужина (užina, “afternoon snack; evening meal”), from Proto-Slavic *južina / *južinъ (“meal at noon”), from *jugъ (“South, south wind”). Compare Old East Slavic угъ (ugŭ, “South, noon”). The meaning evolved like this: "south" ⇒ "the time of the day when the sun is in the south" ⇒ "supper".
