Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Probably borrowed from Ancient Greek κάδιον (kádion), a diminutive form of Ancient Greek κάδος (kádos, bucket, jar), of Semitic origin. Also borrowed in Latin cadus (bottle, jar), whence English cade.

Maček, Miklošič, and Trubachev do not exclude a native origin due to the slight semantic difference from the Greek term and also because of (sparse) evidence for alternative ū-stem forms such as dialectal Russian ка́довь (kádovʹ, cask) (generalized from gen. of Proto-Slavic *kady). Possible origin (per Machek) from Proto-Indo-European *kādʰ- (convex shape), with hypothetical cognate Ancient Greek κηθίς (kēthís, urn).
