Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Ancient Greek Σκερδίλαιδος (Skerdílaidos), from the name of an Illyrian king (Ancient Greek Σκερδιλαΐδας (Skerdilaḯdas), Illyrian *Skerdilaidas), of unclear origin. Possibly related to herdhe (“nest; herd”), from Proto-Albanian *skarda- (pre-Albanian *sḱordʰos, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerdʰeh₂ (“herd”), compare Slovene črẹ́da, English herd, Ancient Greek κόρθυς (kórthus, “heap”)) + Proto-Albanian *laida, from Proto-Indo-European *leyt- (“to leave, die”) (compare English lead), thus meaning something like “herd or flock leader”.
