Etymology
# Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *blaiˀd-(w)á-s, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰloyd-(w)ó-s. He names Proto-Slavic *blědъ, Proto-Germanic *blaitaz as cognates. # Smoczyński questions Derksen's theory, describing the development *-dw- > -v- as improbable and proposes *bʰloy-u(o)- as a possible origin.
