Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The etymology is uncertain.
- Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁su- (“good”), making it cognate with *su- (“good”), though the phonetic development is uncertain.[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European *swentos (“strong, vigorous, active, healthy”), though there is a difference in semantics.[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- (“to be”), source of Ancient Greek οὐσία (ousía, “one's property, substance”).[2]
