Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *dabras, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₂obʰ-ro-s, from *dʰh₂ebʰ- (“to fashion, fit”).[1] The related Latin faber (“craftsman; smith”) (see there for more cognates) suggests Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₂ebʰ-ro-s.
Cognate with Latvian dabravecis (“brave, prudent man”).
