"salds" meaning in All languages combined

See salds on Wiktionary

Adjective [Latvian]

IPA: [sâlts]
Etymology: Derived from a former verb *salt (“to be(come) sweet”) (compare Lithuanian sálti), which disappeared, possibly because of homophony with salt (“to be(come) cold”). It has the same stem as sāls (“salt”) (q.v.), with an extra d also found in other cognates. The meaning change of the verb salt was probably from “(being) salty, salted” to “having pleasant flavor, tasty” and then to “(being) sweetened, sweet.” Cognates include Lithuanian saldùs, Proto-Slavic *soldь (Old Church Slavonic сладъкъ (sladŭkŭ), Russian сла́дкий (sládkij)), German Salz, Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌻𐍄 (salt) < *saltą (“salt”), Latin sallere (“to salt”) < *saldere, Old Armenian աղտ (ałt).

It has the same stem as sāls (“salt”) (q.v.), with an extra d also found in other cognates. The meaning change of the verb salt was probably from “(being) salty, salted” to “having pleasant flavor, tasty” and then to “(being) sweetened, sweet.” Cognates include Lithuanian saldùs, Proto-Slavic *soldь (Old Church Slavonic сладъкъ (sladŭkŭ), Russian сла́дкий (sládkij)), German Salz, Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌻𐍄 (salt) < *saltą (“salt”), Latin sallere (“to salt”) < *saldere, Old Armenian աղտ (ałt).",
