Etymology

Via Template:etym from Template:etym and Template:etym (deprecated template usage) sūden. The form replaces native Middle High German (deprecated template usage) sunden from Template:etym (deprecated template usage) sundan. The Middle Dutch influence is seen in the modern German umlaut (cf. the Middle Dutch pronunciation of -ū- [yː]). All these forms are are from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *sunþanō, an adverb meaning “from the south”. The original noun Proto-Germanic *sunþaz, whence English (deprecated template usage) south and German (deprecated template usage) Süd, has always been restricted chiefly to compounds in continental West Germanic.
