дюжий

Russian

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *dužь. Vasmer suggests a variant of dialectal ду́жий (dúžij, “strong”), cognate with Ukrainian ду́жий (dúžyj, “powerful, strong”), Belarusian ду́жы (dúžy, “powerful, strong”), Polish duży (“big, strong”), dużo (“a lot”), and more distantly with Lithuanian daũg (“a lot”), Latvian daũdz (“a lot”), padūgt (“to have the opportunity”), Gothic 𐌳𐌿𐌲𐌰𐌽 (dugan, “to suit”), German taugen (“to suit”), Tugend (“virtue”), Ancient Greek τυγχάνω (tunkhánō, “to encounter, to come upon”), Old Irish dúal (“suitable”). Others see a relation with Proto-Slavic *dęg-, as in dialectal дя́гнуть (djágnutʹ, “to recover, to improve”).
