- A nasal-infixed formation from the root *mewd-, whence also mudà (“possibility”), mudúoti (“to try, attempt”) and Sanskrit मुद् (mud, “to be happy, rejoice”).[3]
- From Proto-Indo-European *meHndʰ- (“to pay attention, wisdom”).[4][5][6]
- Akin to Lithuanian išmintìs (“to be able”), išmėginti (“try”), išmintìs (“wisdom”).[7]
