Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ-er-os, from *bʰendʰ- (to tie; bond, band) and formally almost completely agreeing with Lithuanian beñdras (common, shared); compare also Sanskrit बन्धु (bandhu, relative, kindred). The oxytone accentuation of this word is based on the model of ἑκυρός (hekurós, father-in-law).[1]
