Nauda

Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *naudā-, from Proto-Indo-European *newd-, *nowd- (to seize, to take for use), from a stem *new-, *now- (to make a sudden gesture; to wave, to beckon) with an extra d. The semantic evolution was presumably “(something) taken for use, for benefit” > “property” (including also animals, cattle) > “money” (compare Latin pecus (sheep, cattle), pecūnia (property, money)). Cognates include Lithuanian naudà (benefit, validity, utility; property), Gothic 𐌽𐌹𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (niutan, to achieve, to get, to enjoy), Old English notu, nytt, Old High German nuz (use, utility) (German nutzen (to serve, to use)), Old Norse naut (cattle).[1]

Etymology

From northern Proto-Indo-European *newd- (to acquire, make use of); cognate with Proto-Germanic *neutaną (to use; to enjoy). The acute accent in the Baltic forms may be attributed to Winter's law.[1]
