райдуга
Ukrainian
Alternative forms
- ра́дуга (ráduha)
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *radǫga. The first element more likely derives from Proto-Slavic *radъ than folk etymology’s Proto-Slavic *rajь. The second element from Proto-Slavic *dǫga would be cognate with Lithuanian dangùs (“sky, heaven”) and perhaps further Proto-Germanic *tunglą (“heavenly body”) together from a tentative Proto-Indo-European root *denǵʰ-.
Slavic cognates include Russian ра́дуга (ráduga).
A borrowing from Old Ossetic *ardunga- cognate with Classical Persian درونه (durōna, “rainbow”) etc. is also possible.
