Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From nursery language. Reduplication of *da, possibly the result of voicing *ta, from *tàta (“father”).[1][2][3][4] Compare *màma (“mother”), *bàba (“grandmother”) and *tetà (“aunt”).

Apparently, we should abandon Sobolevsky's etymology, according to which Old East Slavic дꙗ́дꙗ (djádja, “uncle”), дѧ́дѧ (dę́dę), from *дѣ́дѧ (*dě́dę) < дѣ́дъ (dě́dŭ) < Proto-Slavic *dě̀dъ (“grandfather”).[5][6][7][8]

Noun

*dàda m[1][2][3]

  1. (childish) senior relative in the family (father, uncle, older woman, etc.)
