"mirъ" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See mirъ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás, from Proto-Indo-European *mey(H)-ró-s, its Baltic cognates are: Lithuanian mieras (“peace”), Latvian miêrs (“peace”), compare also Albanian mirë (“good”). There may be two Indo-European roots involved, *mey- (“to tie, strengthen”) and *meyh₁- (“soft, mild”). Root-cognates (with different suffixes) include, with the former: Ancient Greek μίτος (mítos, “warp thread”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *mitrás (literally “(that which) causes binding”) (Old Persian 𐎷𐎰𐎼 (mi-θ-r), and Sanskrit मित्र (mitra)); with the latter: Proto-Slavic *milъ (“nice, gentle, mild”), Latin mītis (“mild, calm, peaceful”). The dual meaning of "peace" and "world" is unique to Slavic, and scholarly opinion is divided on whether this is a purely semantic development (via a meaning of "pact, friendship" to "community, society" to "ecumene, inhabited world") or alternatively an early conflation of two words, with the meaning "world" derived only from the root meaning "to bind", and the meaning "peace" derived from the root meaning "gentle, mild". Possibly *mirъ meaning world derives from earlier *-měrъ(great/big -> world). Compare Proto-Celtic *māros (“great”) and Proto-Germanic *mēri- (“famous”) (> Old High German māri).

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás, from Proto-Indo-European *mey(H)-ró-s, its Baltic cognates are: Lithuanian mieras (“peace”), Latvian miêrs (“peace”), compare also Albanian mirë (“good”).\nThere may be two Indo-European roots involved, *mey- (“to tie, strengthen”) and *meyh₁- (“soft, mild”).\nRoot-cognates (with different suffixes) include, with the former: Ancient Greek μίτος (mítos, “warp thread”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *mitrás (literally “(that which) causes binding”) (Old Persian 𐎷𐎰𐎼 (mi-θ-r), and Sanskrit मित्र (mitra)); with the latter: Proto-Slavic *milъ (“nice, gentle, mild”), Latin mītis (“mild, calm, peaceful”).\nThe dual meaning of \"peace\" and \"world\" is unique to Slavic, and scholarly opinion is divided on whether this is a purely semantic development (via a meaning of \"pact, friendship\" to \"community, society\" to \"ecumene, inhabited world\") or alternatively an early conflation of two words, with the meaning \"world\" derived only from the root meaning \"to bind\", and the meaning \"peace\" derived from the root meaning \"gentle, mild\". Possibly *mirъ meaning world derives from earlier *-měrъ(great/big -> world). Compare Proto-Celtic *māros (“great”) and Proto-Germanic *mēri- (“famous”) (> Old High German māri).",

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás, from Proto-Indo-European *mey(H)-ró-s, its Baltic cognates are: Lithuanian mieras (“peace”), Latvian miêrs (“peace”), compare also Albanian mirë (“good”).\nThere may be two Indo-European roots involved, *mey- (“to tie, strengthen”) and *meyh₁- (“soft, mild”).\nRoot-cognates (with different suffixes) include, with the former: Ancient Greek μίτος (mítos, “warp thread”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *mitrás (literally “(that which) causes binding”) (Old Persian 𐎷𐎰𐎼 (mi-θ-r), and Sanskrit मित्र (mitra)); with the latter: Proto-Slavic *milъ (“nice, gentle, mild”), Latin mītis (“mild, calm, peaceful”).\nThe dual meaning of \"peace\" and \"world\" is unique to Slavic, and scholarly opinion is divided on whether this is a purely semantic development (via a meaning of \"pact, friendship\" to \"community, society\" to \"ecumene, inhabited world\") or alternatively an early conflation of two words, with the meaning \"world\" derived only from the root meaning \"to bind\", and the meaning \"peace\" derived from the root meaning \"gentle, mild\". Possibly *mirъ meaning world derives from earlier *-měrъ(great/big -> world). Compare Proto-Celtic *māros (“great”) and Proto-Germanic *mēri- (“famous”) (> Old High German māri).",
