sužovať

== Slovak == === Etymology === possibly from ocs. sǫžьnь, croatian, serbian sȕžanj, sȗžanj. south slavic. *sǫ́žьn'ь (or *sǫ̋žьn'ь), what originally meant a bound, tied one, that is a captive. The word is composed of *sǫ- (or *sъ) ‛together’ and the noun *ǫ̋že ‛rope’, which is conserved in BCMS ȕže, slovenian vọ́že ‛rope’ (10. century). Without prefix it has been derived to OCS ǫžьnikъ ‛caitiff’ (M. S. pri Be III, 344). Proto-slavic *ǫ̋že ‛rope’ is a cognate to *vęzti̋, *vęza̋ti, *ǫ́zъkъ. Czech provaz 'rope' and slovak 'povraz' is probably a blend from protoslavic '*povorzъ < *verzti' and 'vęzati'. Polabian (West slavic) 'vǫzе': rope. === Verb === sužovať impf (perfective usužovať or usúžiť) To torment, to pester.
