Etymology

Cognate with Old East Slavic прꙋстъ (prustŭ, “narthex”). Further origin unclear: * Mladenov considers relation to dialectal прусам (prusam, “to stroll”), perhaps from Proto-Slavic *prud(s)- (compare Lithuanian práudžia (“manner, order”)). Doubted by Vasmer. * Based on the church meaning in Old Russian, Vaillant suggests instead Greek or Latin origin. Candidate lendwords could be Ancient Greek πρόσθιος (prósthios, “frontal”) (diachronically improbable as that would require borrowing during Early Proto-Slavic) or possibly unattested Latin pro- + ōstium (“door”).
