bỳstrъ Grammatical information: adj. o Accent paradigm: a Proto-Slavic meaning: `quick'Page in Trubačev: III 153-154Old Church Slavic:Russian:býstryj `quick' [adj o]Czech:bystrý `quick, sharp-witted' [adj o]Slovak:bystrý `quick, sharp-witted' [adj o]Polish:Serbo-Croatian:bȉstar `clear, transparent, quick' [adj o]Slovene:bístǝr `quick, vivacious, transparent' [adj o]Bulgarian:bístăr `clear, transparent' [adj o]Page in Pokorny: 146Comments: Attempts have been made to connect *bỳstrъ with -> bъ̀drъ `cheerful, lively', which derives from PIE * bʰudʰ-. This etymology fails to provide an explanation for the acute *y, however. We could assume that the root is simply * by- `be', but in that case the origin of the the suffix would be unclear. In my opinion, it is not unattractive to assume a connection with Skt. bhū́ṣati `support, be active for assume, strengthen', the root of which is probably an s-enlargement of * bʰu- `be'. -
