köken: Internationalism, possibly borrowed from English anaconda, Spanish anaconda, or Portuguese anaconda, ultimately from New Latin anacandaia (“python”), from Sinhalese හෙනකඳයා (henakaⁿdayā, “whip snake”), from හෙන (hena, “lightning, thunderbolt”) + කඳ (kaⁿda, “stem, trunk, body”). First attested in 1826.
From Proto-Celtic *natrixs (compare Breton naer, Irish nathair), from Proto-Indo-European *nh₁trih₂ (compare English adder, Latin natrīx (“water snake”)), from *sneh₁- (“to spin, twist”) (compare nyddu). Related to noden (“thread”), nodwydd (“needle”).
