See prāvs on Wiktionary

Adjective [Latvian]

IPA: [pràws]
Etymology: From the merging of two homophonous sources: on the one hand, borrowed from Slavic (cf. Old Church Slavonic правъ (pravŭ, “straight; innocent; correct, good”), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “straight; innocent; right-hand”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pro- “forward”; there are 17th-century attestations of Latvian prāvs meaning “straight”), and, on the other hand, an inherited term, from Proto-Baltic *prāvas, from Proto-Indo-European *prew-, *prow-, *praw- (“to jump”), from *per (“over, above”). The meaning would have evolved from “to jump” > “to jump (high), to stand out” > “outstanding” (a meaning still attested in 17th-century sources, in parallel to the aforementioned “straight”) > “large, big”. Cognates (from *prow-, *prew-, *praw-) include Old Norse frár (“quick, agile”), Old High German frao, frō, frawēr (“strong, agile, energetic”), German froh (“happy, cheerful”).

Old Church Slavonic правъ (pravŭ, “straight; innocent; correct, good”), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “straight; innocent; right-hand”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pro- “forward”; there are 17th-century attestations of Latvian prāvs meaning “straight”), and, on the other hand, an inherited term, from Proto-Baltic *prāvas, from Proto-Indo-European *prew-, *prow-, *praw- (“to jump”), from *per (“over, above”). The meaning would have evolved from “to jump” > “to jump (high), to stand out” > “outstanding” (a meaning still attested in 17th-century sources, in parallel to the aforementioned “straight”) > “large, big”. Cognates (from *prow-, *prew-, *praw-) include Old Norse frár (“quick, agile”), Old High German frao, frō, frawēr (“strong, agile, energetic”), German froh (“happy, cheerful”).",
