Proto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *dumbas, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰu-m-bʰ-os with nasal interfix, from *dʰewbʰ- (“deep”).

Originally literally “tree with a depression, hollow (a characteristic feature of an old oak)” or “low-lying (oak likes to grow in low-lying and damp places)”. Compare Lithuanian dum̃blas (“swamp”).

Outdated etymologies associated *dǫbъ with a Proto-Indo-European root *dem- (“to build”).

The etymon is attested both as an o-stem and as a u-stem, but per Vasmer, the original more likely was u-stem.

Noun[edit]

*dǫ̑bъ m[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  1. oak tree
  2. oak (wood)
