Word: звезда́,
Near etymology: мн. звёзды, зве́зды, укр. звiзда́, др.-русск. звѣзда, ст.-слав. ѕвѣзда ἀστήρ, φωστήρ (Супр. и др.; см. Дильс, Aksl. Gr. 135), болг. звезда́, сербохорв. звиjѐзда, словен. zvézda, чеш. hvězda, слвц. hviezda, польск. gwiazda, в.-луж. hwězda, н.-луж. gwězda.
Further etymology: Праслав. *gvězdа родственно лит. žvaigzdė̃, žvaigždė̃, диал. žvaizdė̃, лтш. zvàigznе "звезда", др.-прусск. svāigstan вин. ед. "сияние, свет, блеск" (относительно st : zd см. Брюкнер, KZ 50, 164), далее -- лтш. zvaigal̨a "корова с белым звездообразным пятном на лбу", лит. žvygulỹs "блеск, сверкание", лтш. zaiguôtiês "блестеть" наряду с zvīgul̨uôt "сиять", греч. φοῖβος "блестящий, сияющий"; последний слог балт.-слав. слов содержит, вероятно, и.-е. *dhē- "ставить, класть"; см. Френкель, ВSрr. 39 и сл.; Balticoslavica 2, 28; Траутман, ВSW 373 и сл.; М.--Э. 4, 762 и сл.; Мейе--Вайан 28; Эндзелин, СБЭ 113; ИОРЯС 17, 4, 120. Отношение праслав. g- : балт. ž не обязательно объяснять с помощью закона диссимиляции спирантов Мейе (Ét. 178; МSL 9, 374; 13, 243), поскольку есть и др. возможности; ср. Траутман, там же; Миккола, Ursl. Gr. 166; Педерсен, Lа cinq. déclin. 74 (праслав. *gvaigzdā -- через дистантную ассимиляцию -- из балт.-слав. *žvaigzdā); *gvězda, согласно М.--Э. (там же), могло возникнуть в результате контаминации корней; лит. gaidrùs "светлый, ясный, чистый", gaĩsas "сияние света" и *žvaigzdė̃. Против связи с законом Мейе выступил Агрель (Zwei Beitr. 2). Прочие менее надежные сравнения см. у Петерссона (ArArmSt. 72; ВSL 1 и сл.) и у Лёвенталя (AfslPh 37, 382), против этих гипотез см. Махек, Μνῆμα 417.
Trubachev's comments: [Слав. zvězdа сравнивает с ирл. gеаd "белое пятно на лбу у лошади" О᾽ Брайен (Zeuss memorial volume, "Сеltiса", vol. 3, Дублин, 1956, стр. 170 и сл.); см. сомнения по этому поводу у Фаукеса ("Language", 32, 1956, стр. 733). Слав. zvězdа родственно осет. ævzīst / ævzestæ "серебро" < др.-осет. *zvestæ. См. вслед за Петерссоном Абаев, Ист.-этимол. словарь, 1, стр. 213; неясным считает последнее слово Бенвенист ("Очерки по осет. языку", М., 1965, стр. 137). -- Т.]
