Russian

Alternative forms

во́дросль (vódroslʹ) (colloquial, nonstandard)
во́доросель (vódoroselʹ) (rare, folklore)

Etymology

From вода́ (vodá) +‎ -о- (-o-) +‎ -росл (-rosl) +‎ -ь (-ʹ), based on a difficult-to-explain combining form of расти́ (rastí, “to grow”) (compare feminine singular past росла́ (roslá)). A parallel construction occurs in ле́торосль (létoroslʹ, “sprout”), also found as ле́торость (létorostʹ), with cognates Old Church Slavonic лѣторасль (lětoraslĭ), Czech letorost, Polish latorośl.
