Translations
Etymology
1. Inherited from Old Norse tjóðra (“to tether”), a denominal verb formed from tjóðr (“tether”) with the verb-forming suffix -a. The noun is from Proto-Germanic *teudrą (“tether; cord, rope”), also reconstructed as *tūdrą. By surface analysis, tjor (“tether”) + e (“verb-forming suffix”).
2. The further origin of the Proto-Germanic noun is uncertain. It has been connected with *dewk- (“to pull”) or *dewh₂- (“to tie, secure”), with an instrumental noun suffix, while another proposal connects it with *deh₁-. Doublet of tøyre (“to tether, restrain”).
3. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk tjore and tjora, Danish tøjre, Swedish tjudra, Icelandic tjóðra and Faroese tjóðra (“to tether”). See: Norwegian, nynorsk '
tjore', Danish '
tøjre', Swedish '
tjudra', Icelandic '
tjóðra', Faroese '
tjóðra'.
