Per the LIV and IEW, fromProto-Indo-European*snewbʰ-(“to marry, to wed”), cognate toProto-Slavic*snubìti.[1][2] Ernout and Meillet dispute this and instead connect this word withnūbēs(“cloud”), from PIE*(s)newdʰ-(“to cover”)[3] (the sense development would be "to cover" > "to take the veil" > "to get married"). De Vaan finds Ernout and Meillet's proposal semantically attractive, but morphologically difficult: if the root originally ended in*dʰ, then the attested supine stem must be a recent (re)formation, since an old supine form would have regularly developed-ss-, as iniussus(perfect participle ofiubeō) from*Hyewdʰ-.[4]
The vowel in the first syllable of the supine stem is marked long by Lewis (1891) and Bennett (1907),[5] but De Vaan (2008) implies that it is short by omitting a macron, Ernout and Meillet explicitly mark it with a breve (nŭptum),[3] and Wartburg (1928–2002) and Bienvenu (1965) mark ŭ as short in the derived wordnuptiae.[6][7] A short vowel in the supine stem would match the ablaut-based length alternation pattern seen indūcō,dūxī,ductum (with a supine/past participle stem built on the zero grade of the root). On the other hand, a long vowel could have been introduced by analogy with the present stem, perfect stem, or both (as inscrībō,scrīpsī,scrīptum).
Possibly cognate withAncient Greekνύμφη(númphē,“bride, young wife, nymph”) (Englishnymph), but this is disputed.
