Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *naudā-, from Proto-Indo-European *newd-, *nowd- ‎(“to seize, to take for use”), from a stem *new-, *now- ‎(“to make a sudden gesture; to wave, to beckon”) with an extra d. The semantic evolution was presumably “(something) taken for use, for benefit” > “property” (including also animals, cattle) > “money” (compare Latin pecus ‎(“sheep, cattle”), pecūnia ‎(“property, money”)). Cognates include Lithuanian naudà ‎(“benefit, validity, utility; property”), Gothic 𐌽𐌹𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 ‎(niutan, “to achieve, to get, to enjoy”), Old English notu, nytt, Old High German nuz ‎(“use, utility”) (German nutzen ‎(“to serve, to use”)), Old Norse naut ‎(“cattle”).[1]
