Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/waizdaz
Proto-Germanic edit
Etymology edit
Unknown. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *weydʰ-, from Proto-Indo-European *wey- (“to wither; fade”). Or, from a substrate source in common with Latin vitrum (“woad”). Compare also Ancient Greek ἰσάτις (isátis, “woad”).
(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
