- son
- son: [OE] Son is an ancient word, with relatives in several Indo-European languages: Russian, Polish, and Czech syn, for instance, Sanskrit sūnús, and Greek huiús. These point back to an ancestral *sunu- or *sunyu-. This may have been related to Sanskrit sú- ‘bear, carry’, in which case its original meaning would have been ‘birth’, which evolved via ‘offspring’ to ‘son’. The prehistoric Germanic descendant of *sunuwas *sunuz, which has diversified into German sohn, Dutch zoon, Danish søn, and English and Swedish son.
