tagad

There are two main theories about the origin of this word. Both derived the first syllable from Proto-Baltic *ta-, from Proto-Indo-European *to-, an old pronominal stem, whence also tas (“this”). The second syllable is, according to one theory, from the particle ga and an extra -d (< da). The same particle ga can be found in Lithuanian tàgatės (“thus, like that”) and Old Prussian anga (“or”), and in reduced form in 17th-century arīg (modern arī “too”) and as dz (< *dzi < parallel form *gi) in nedz). An alternative theory, however, derives the second syllable in tagad from gads, now “year” but previously also “time”: from an earlier accusative *tagadi (“this time”) would have come present-day tagad “now.” Cognates include Old Church Slavonic тогда (togda), тъгда (tŭgda), Russian тогда́ (togdá), Ukrainian тогді́ (tohdí), тогі́д (tohíd, “last year”), Bulgarian тога́ (togá), Czech tehdy, dialectal tehda (“then”).

kur septiņpadsmitā gadsimta sākumā bija Līvas upītes ieteka, tur tagad Līvas iela

where in the beginning of the 17th century was the estuary of the Līva river, there now is Līva street

now, nowadays (in the time period that includes the present)

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *gadás, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰodʰ-, o-grade of *gʰedʰ- (“to unify, to match”) (whence also gadīties, q.v.). The semantic evolution of the term probably went from “matching, appropriate” > “appropriate, determined, specific time (period)” > “(church) holiday” > “sequence of church holidays in a year” > “year”. Since this evolution parallels that of Russian год (god), there may also have been Russian influence on the meaning changes of Latvian gads. Cognates include Latgalian gods, Lithuanian gadýnė (“time, period”) (< Belarusian гадзі́на (hadzína)), Old Church Slavonic годъ (godŭ, “suitable time, holiday, year”), Russian, Belarusian год (god, “year”), Upper Sorbian hod, hody (“winter holidays”), Czech hod (“church holiday”), Polish gody (“wedding feast, wedding”), Serbo-Croatian gȏd (“name day, important holiday”).

A borrowing, traditionally described as from Middle Low German stunde (“hour”), from Old Saxon stunda, from Proto-West Germanic *stundu, from Proto-Germanic *stundō, since this form is found in the earliest attestations.
But some authors argue that these early attestations are found only in some dialects, and that later competing forms (stunds, stunda) might correspond to earlier competing variants, which suggests that this word already existed in Latvian prior to Middle Low German influence. This would mean that it was previously borrowed from another Germanic language (possibly Gothic, or maybe Old High German or Old Norse). The current form stunda became stabilised at the beginning of the 18th century.

Borrowed from Old East Slavic недѣлꙗ (nedělja, “Sunday, holiday, week”) (cf. Russian неде́ля (nedélja)); the same Old East Slavic word was borrowed by other local languages (cf. Estonian nädal, Lithuanian nedėlia, Livonian nädīļ, Latgalian nedeļa). The original Slavic meaning was “Sunday”, literally “non-working [day] (cf. Russian де́лать (délatʹ, “to do”)). Given its form, the word was probably borrowed before the 13th century, even though its first occurrences, already in its modern form, are in 17th-century dictionaries.

From Proto-Baltic *agras, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eg-ro-s, from *h₂eg- with -ro “spike, top, beginning.” This stem is apparently a variant of *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”), whence Ancient Greek ἄκρος (ákros, “sharp, pointed”), Latin ācer (“sharp”) (< *h₂eḱrós). If this is true, Latvian agrs would originally have meant “sharp,” from which “fast, quick” and finally “early.” Cognates include Hittite [script needed] (ḫegur, “peak, cliff”), Sanskrit अग्र (ágra, “spike, peak, beginning”), Avestan 𐬀𐬔𐬭𐬋 (agrō, “first”), 𐬀𐬔𐬭𐬆𐬨 (agrəm, “beginning”).
