Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Analyzable as *be- +‎ *sědа (setting), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (to sit). The prefix is generally considered to reflect the original meaning of Proto-Slavic *be(z) (without), either conveying “exterior, outside” (per Vasmer) or “in complement” (per Snoj).

Further related to Proto-Germanic *hansō (gathering, summoning, guild), Latin cōnsidium (meeting), Sanskrit उपनिषद् (upaniṣad, rite, meditation).
