strudz
Aromanian
Alternative forms
- strudzu, sturdzu
Etymology
From Latin turdus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *trosdos. The initial s- possibly due to influence from sturnus, and the final -dz perhaps because the word was reformed from the plural, or less likely through a Vulgar Latin *turdeus. This form of the word in Aromanian underwent metathesis, unlike the variant sturdzu or Romanian sturz.
Noun
strudz m (plural strudzã)
