ainde

Etymology

It is usually taken as inherited from Latin aliunde (“from elsewhere”), the view of Pușcariu, the REW, Scriban and CADE.^[1][2][3][4] Ciorănescu accepts it, but notes that Latin and Slavic are hard to tell apart here, as Cihac's Old Church Slavonic инъде (inŭde, “elsewhere”) has the same sense.^[1][5] DELR puts the attested forms under aindere, which it explains as the Latin adverb with the element ⟨-re⟩ of aiurea, and says that the form without ⟨-re⟩, entered by Hasdeu and copied by later dictionaries, has no records in the primary sources.^[2] Hasdeu proposed eccum + inde.^[2] The Latin word also survives in Occitan alhondre and Old Spanish algondre.^[2] Wiktionary offers a Romanian compound of a and inde as well.^[6]

Earliest recorded meaning

The forms aindine and aiure are glossed “alibi, alio loco” in the Lexicon de la Buda of 1825.^[7][2]

Semantic evolution

Hasdeu wrote that the word had almost vanished from speech under the competition of aiure.^[7] The forms with -ne and -re were, for him, strengthened forms like those of pretutindeni.^[7] It is mainly a word of Banat and western Transylvania.^[1][2]
