обдешень

Russian

Etymology

According to Anikin, possibly related to the Indo-European cognates of Proto-Slavic *desnъ(jь) (“right”). Perhaps borrowed from the Baltic cognate: compare Lithuanian dẽšinas (“right”). For the meaning "south-east" Anikin compares Sanskrit दक्षिण (dákṣiṇa, “right; south”) and Irish deas (“right; to the south”).
