Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *źénˀtas, *źénˀtis. A derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- (“to produce, give birth”) (cf. *ǵénh₁tis (“birth, production”)) or Proto-Indo-European *ǵemH- (“to marry”) + *-tь. Akin to Lithuanian žéntas (“son-in-law”), Latvian znots (“son-in-law”), Sanskrit ज्ञाति (jñāti, “kinsman, relative”), possibly Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ā́mātā (“son-in-law”).
