Word: низ,
Near etymology: так же, как гл. приставка: низве́ргнуть, низложи́ть, укр. низ, блр. нiз, др.-русск. низъ -- предлог (Срезн. II, 449), ст.-слав. низъ κάτω, κατά, болг. низ- "вниз, низ-", сербохорв. низ, низа -- то же, словен. nìz, чеш. niz.
Further etymology: Расширение и.-е. *ni, ср др.-инд. ni- "вниз, низ-, вовнутрь", авест. ni, др.-перс. niу "вниз", др.-инд. nitarām -- то же, д.-в.-н. nidar "вниз"; сюда же др.-прусск. etnīstin вин. ед. "милость", et-nīwings "милостивый", лтш. Nĩgale (М.--Э. 2, 745 и сл.). Образование *nizъ не могло подвергнуться влиянию *vъz-, вопреки Траутману (ВSW 198 и сл.), поскольку они первонач. имели различный конец. Далее, предполагают родство с ниц, ни́ва, ни́щий. В качестве географического названия низ, низовская земля обозначали в древнерусском все Поволжье вниз от Твери (Барсов, Очерки 18 и сл.). См. ни́зкий.
