Etymology

edit
PIE word
*swé

From Proto-Indo-European *swe-dʰh₁-sḱ-, expanded from the reflexive pronoun Proto-Indo-European *swé (self) + *dʰeh₁- (to put, place, set), thus the original sense to "set as one's own", as in the later formed suificō.[1]

Cognate with soleō, sodālis, Ancient Greek ἔθω (éthō), εἴωθα (eíōtha), ἔθνος (éthnos), ἔθος (éthos), ἦθος (êthos), Sanskrit स्वधा (svadhā) and Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍃 (sidus).
