Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly:
- from an earlier *wrotā, from Proto-Indo-European *werh₁-, cognate with Sanskrit व्रत (vratám), Avestan 𐬎𐬭𐬬𐬁𐬙𐬀 (urvāta), Ancient Greek ῥητός (rhētós). From the same root is also Proto-Indo-European *werdʰh₁om (“word”).
- from an earlier *roktā, from *reťi + *-ta.
