German

Etymology

From Middle High German oder (whence also Yiddish אָדער (oder)), from Old High German odar, an alteration of odo by analogy with wedar (whence modern weder). The form odo is an assimilated, unstressed form of eddo (also edo), itself cognate with Old Saxon ettho, Old English eþþa, oþþe, Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿 (aiþþau). This formation is of uncertain origin: While the second component is Proto-Germanic *þau, the first may be *eh, *iþ (cf. Gothic 𐌹𐌸 (iþ)), or *jaba(i) (whence German ob, cf. Dutch ofte).

Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Middle High German oder, from Old High German odar. See German oder for more. The expected form would be ueder, which is attested on the German side of the border. The form with [oː] probably developed through interaction with the unstressed pronunciation; reinforcing influence from German is possible.

Pronunciation
