דער
'uncle'

ETYMOLOGY

[Kluge/Seebold write that the meaning shifted in ENHG to 'cousin' after the distinction disappeared between a mother's brother (MHG ôheim) and a father's brother (MHG veter). Yiddish preserves the original meaning.}
OE fædera, OHG fatureo, fetiro 'father's brother', MHG vetere, veter 'father's brother, brother's son, male cousin', NHG Vetter 'male cousin; from PGmc ✱fadurwjan- 'paternal uncle, father's brother'; from PIE ✱ph₂-tr-u-ion- (or ✱pətṛwjo-); derived from ✱fader- (see פֿאָטער).
Related: Sanskrit pítr̥vya- 'father's brother', Latin patruus 'id.', Greek πάτρως 'male relative, father's brother'.
