Etymology edit
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *(s)prenˀd-, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)prend-. Cognate with Lithuanian sprę́sti (“to stretch, to spread, to judge, to solve”) (3sg. spréndžia), Latvian spriêst (“to stretch, to press, to judge, to discuss”) (1sg. spriêžu), Old English sprindel (“snare, hook”). Derksen ascribes the acute tone in the root to Winter's law.
