The -d- was reanalized as a suffix and dropped), Proto-Slavic *sьrdьce (from *sьrdьko, from earlier *sirdis + the *-ikan suffix - a very common change in words of Proto-Slavic and Old Prussian).

From Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr. Cognates include Sanskrit हृद् (hṛd), Latin cor, Ancient Greek κῆρ n (kêr), καρδία (kardía), Old Irish cride and English heart.
