зимородок

• Šanskij: зима́ (zimá) +‎ -о- (-o-) +‎ род (rod) +‎ -ок (-ok). Parallel to Polish zimorodek. Compare typologically synonymous Czech ledňáček, Russian леди́нник (ledínnik) (akin to лёд (ljod)); Danish isfugl, Dutch ijsvogel, German Eisvogel (calqued into Hungarian jégmadár), Old English īsearn (analyzable as akin to ice, see, however, Eisvogel for another conjecture).
• Burlak: Borrowed from Persian زمرد (zomorrod, “emerald”) (whence also изумру́д (izumrúd)).
