Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Low German smand.[1] There are two theories as to the origin of the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Low German word:
- The Duden and some other authorities think it derives from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic[1][2] *smanþiz (“smooth, soft”) and is thus cognate to English smooth.
- Jacob Grimm and Václav Machek think it derives from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "sla" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. (whence also Schmetten and English smetana). See сметана (smetana) for more.
