Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editFrom *odolěti (“to defeat, to discomfit”) + *-nъ, so called because of its use to vanquish diseases. One can see its motivation in Latin valeriana understood as from valēre (“to be strong (sc. against an ailment)”). Roger Bernard even reports a Slavo-Latinate hybridism Odeljanus.
