Anikin RES 2, 27. In Slavic languages originally as a name of the last sheaf in harvest rites (cf. Czech dęd, Polish dziad 'last sheaf'< Proto-Slavic *dědъ 'old man, grandfather'). Compare phraseological expressions, for example, Russian (Pskov) бабу зарезать lit. 'to slaughter a woman', 'rite associated with the end of the harvest' (POS 1: 79) and similar Czech bábu řezati, Slovenian (Carinthia) babo ubijo 'they kill a woman' (it is said during a ritual strike with a sickle on the last sheaf) (SA 1, 123).
