Meaning & usage
Neisse (a river)
Nysa (a river)
Where this word comes from
From a form of Polish Nysa, Czech Nisa, first documented in 981, in its turn maybe from Old High German, ultimately uncertain. Most often assumed to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *neyd- with a s-initial suffix, compare Sanskrit नेद् (ned, “to go, flow”). Alternatively derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh₂-, compare Proto-Celtic *nāwā (→ “trough”, “valley”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *naHwíyas (→ “canal”, “navigable river”). In either case sometimes assumed to be from a pre-Germanic and pre-Slavic, Indo-European substrate.
