"vidus" meaning in Latvian

See vidus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *widús, from Proto-Indo-European *widʰu- (“forest, wood”). The semantic change from “forest” to “region, area (between villages)” and to “middle, between” probably comes from a situation in which the areas between villages are mostly occupied by forest (cf. the opposite change, from “middle” to “forest,” in Latvian mežs; these two words, mežs and vidus apparently swapped their meanings). Cognates include Lithuanian vidùs (“interior, middle”), Old Prussian widus (“boot stitch”); in the original sense of “forest,” also Old Irish fid (“wood, firewood, forest”), Old Norse viðr (“forest, bushes; tree, stump, log, mast; (adj.) far, wide, big”), Old High German witu, wito (“firewood, wood”), Old English widu, wudu (“forest, bushes, tree”), English wood.

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Baltic *widús, from Proto-Indo-European *widʰu- (“forest, wood”). The semantic change from “forest” to “region, area (between villages)” and to “middle, between” probably comes from a situation in which the areas between villages are mostly occupied by forest (cf. the opposite change, from “middle” to “forest,” in Latvian mežs; these two words, mežs and vidus apparently swapped their meanings). Cognates include Lithuanian vidùs (“interior, middle”), Old Prussian widus (“boot stitch”); in the original sense of “forest,” also Old Irish fid (“wood, firewood, forest”), Old Norse viðr (“forest, bushes; tree, stump, log, mast; (adj.) far, wide, big”), Old High German witu, wito (“firewood, wood”), Old English widu, wudu (“forest, bushes, tree”), English wood.",
