Ausgesprochen als (IPA)

[ˈsɔr.deːs]

From Proto-Italic *swordi- (“dirt”) or *swordo- (“dirty”) + -ēs. Cognate with Proto-Germanic *swartaz (“black”), which could also go back to *sword-; within Latin, suāsum (“dirty gray color”) could be from the same root, but this relationship is not certain since it is phonetically problematic.
