"sauss" meaning in Latvian

See sauss in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [sàws]
Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *sausas (perhaps from Proto-Balto-Slavic *saušás), from Proto-Indo-European *saus-, *sus- (“dry”), maybe from the stem *seu-, *sū-, *su- (“juice, liquid; to squeeze juice; to suck”) (whence also Latvian sūkt (“to suck”)), either with an additional s or reduplicated. The meaning change was probably “squeezed (for juice), sucked” > “without (juice, liquid)” > “dry.” Cognates include Lithuanian saũsas, Old Prussian sausā (accusative; ā < an), Proto-Slavic *suxъ (Old Church Slavonic соухъ (suxŭ), Russian сухо́й (suxój), Belarusian сухі́ (suxí), Ukrainian сухи́й (suxýj), Bulgarian сух (suh), Czech suchý, Polish suchy), Sanskrit शुष्क (śuṣka), Ancient Greek αὖος (aûos) (< *sausos), Latin sūdus (“dry, sunny”) (< *susdos), Ossetian сусӕн (susæn, “dry month”).
