Origin: IE [Indo-European] [760] * h₃neid- `revile'

Etymology: Old, in Grek isolated verbal noun without exact non-Greek agreement. The basic primary verb, which in Greek was replaced by the denomin. ὀνειδίζω, is in other languages often retained: Skt. nid-āná- `reproached', athem. aor. ptc., beside which the passive formation nid-yá-māna- `id.' and the nasal present ní-n-d-ati (cf. on ὄνομαι); Av. nāis-mī \< * nāid-s-mi `I reproach', lengthened grade athem. pres. with s-enlargement (if not analogical after forms like ipf. nāis-t \< * nāid-t, 2. pl. nis-ta \< * nid-ta); Balt. e.g. Latv. nîdu, inf. nîdêt, nîst `squint at, not tolerate, hate'. Further fom German. the deverbal or denominative secondary formation in Goth. ga-naitjan `revile'. Especially interesting for Greek is because of the vowelprothesis Arm. anicanem, aor. anici \< * o-neid-s- (on Arm. a- \< o- cf. on ὄναρ, on -s- Meillet MSL 20, 211). -- Further forms with lit. and uncontrollable root analysis in WP. 2, 322f., Pok. 760, Feist Vgl.
