hajdać

Polish

Alternative forms

Etymology

Compare Slovak hojdať, Belarusian гайда́ць (hajdácʹ), and Ukrainian гойда́ти (hojdáty); all are considered to be of imitative origin. Bruckner lists it as an alternative form of huśtać, of the same meaning.[1] This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. Is there a common Proto-Slavic form?

Compare also Polish hajtować (“to play, frolic”).
