Etymology

edit
PIE word
*swé

From Proto-Indo-European *swe-dʰh₁-, from the reflexive pronoun *swé (self) + *dʰeh₁- (to put, place, set), equivalent to the acc. () of οὗ (hoû, him) + τίθημι (títhēmi, to set): thus the original sense is to "set as one's own". Cognates include Latin suēscō, soleō, Sanskrit स्वधा (svadhā) and Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍃 (sidus).
