Romanian

Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *g?erd?- (“to enclose, to encircle”); possibly a substrate word from a Dacian *garda, akin to Albanian gardh (or borrowed from it), or more likely an early borrowing from Proto-Slavic *g?rd?, perhaps predating the metathesis occurring in Slavic languages (however this is uncertain as other related terms such as gr?din?, ograd?, îngr?di had already undergone it when borrowed from Slavic). Other suggested possibilities include a link to Proto-Germanic *gardaz.

Other Indo-European cognates include English garden, yard, gird, Sanskrit ??? (g?ha, “house, home”), Old Church Slavonic ????? (grad?), Gothic ???????????????????? (gards), German Garten, Danish gård and Norwegian gard, garde, gjerde.
