Proto-Slavic
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From *bľьvati (“to puke”) due to the reaction of man’s gastrointestinal system on its consumption or due to the ivy’s way of distribution. A theory that it is from the Old High German descendant of Proto-Germanic *blōstaz (“blossoming”) – which is in German Blust and in the rest of Proto-Germanic got expanded to *blōstmô – is reproofed because it is unlikely that a foreign word for “blossom” got borrowed for a plant which has hardly noticeable flowers. The similarity to Old Prussian bleusky (“rush”) is also most likely coincidental.
Noun
[edit]*bľuščь m
- ivy (Hedera gen. et spp.)
- bryony (Dioscorea communis and Bryonia spp.)
- common hop (Humulus lupulus)
