סוּדָר m.n. PBH 1 scarf, shawl. NH 2 sweater. [Back formation from supposed pl. סוּדָרִין, a word borrowed from Gk. soudariom, from L. sūdārium (= handkerchief), lit.: ‘cloth for wiping off perspiration’, from sūdor (= sweat, perspiration). L. sūdor derives from IE base sweid-, swoid-, swid- (= to sweat). See ‘sweat’ in my CEDEL and cp. ‘sudarium’ ibid.]
