Etymology

edit

abbed +‎ verdighet, first part from Old Norse ábóti, abbati, a term likely borrowed via Old English abbod, from Medieval Latin abbās (abbot), from Ancient Greek ἀββᾶς (abbâs), alternative form of ἀββα (abba, father; title of respect given to abbots) from Aramaic אבא (’abbā, father, teacher, chief), from Proto-Semitic *ʔabw- (father), from Proto-Afroasiatic *ʔab-, ultimately an onomatopoeic nursery word. Last part verdighet (worthiness, dignity), from both verdig (worthy, dignified), from Old Norse verðugr, from verð + the suffix -ig from -ugr, Old Norse -igr (-y), from *-ugaz, Proto-Germanic *-īgaz (-y) or from Low German -ig (-y) or German -ig (-y), from Middle High German -ec, -ic, from Old High German -ig, from Proto-West Germanic *-g, both from Proto-Germanic *-gaz (-y), from Proto-Indo-European *-kos (-y) + the suffix -het from Middle Low German -heit, from Proto-Germanic *haiduz (manner, way), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)keyt-, *(s)keydʰ- (clear, bright, shining).
