Czech
Etymology
From Old Church Slavonic дъждити (dŭžditi, “to rain”),[1] which is from Old Church Slavonic дъждь (dŭždĭ, “rain”), from Proto-Slavic *dъždžь (“rain”), the etymology of which is not completely clear. According to the most accepted theory it comes from Proto-Indo-European *dus-di̯u- (“bad day, bad sky”). There are also interpretations trying to connect it with (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Lithuanian dūzgėti (“to hum, to buzz”).[2]
