Etymology

edit

Traditionally derived from the same stem as adīt (to knit) (with an extra -at): Proto-Baltic *ad-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁edʰ-, *h₁odʰ- (pointed, sharp); Derksen finds the derivation semantically attractive, but is skeptical of it in relation to Latin ebulum (dwarf-elder, danewort).[1] Cognates include Lithuanian ãdata.[2]
