Pronunciation[edit]

Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

PIE word
*swé

Uncertain.

  • Based on semantic similarity to suēscō (to become used to) and sodālis (close companion), Walde-Hoffmann (1954) and Pokorny (1959) opt for *sodeō, from Proto-Italic *sweðēō, from Proto-Indo-European *swe-dʰh₁-, 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.
  • De Vaan (2008) rejects this etymology on the grounds that a following front vowel ē should have blocked the *swe- > so- shift. Instead he derives it from Proto-Indo-European *sel- (place, habitation), via the iterative *sol-eye- "to occupy habitually, inhabit" or directly from Latin solum (base, ground; country) - cf. the similar semantic relationship between habitō and habitus.
