RECORD.

One scholarly question. Every attached source. The present editorial state, without pretending the last word has been written.

openprobable

Does the Germanic hate family securely descend from *ḱeh₂d-?

Only probably. Merriam-Webster publishes the proposal but says the semantic relations among grief, mourning, care, and hatred are far from transparent; Liberman questions whether all proposed non-Germanic cognates belong together.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 352

hatred

/ˈheɪtrɪd/ · noun

A Middle English formation built from hate plus the fossilized native condition suffix -rede / -reden, with a secure Germanic hate family but a semantically difficult and explicitly disputed deeper Indo-European proposal.

LEGACY SOURCE SUMMARY
The formal correspondence is plausible, but the semantic bridge and family membership remain contested.
WHY NO RESOLUTION

The reviewed evidence does not yet warrant collapsing the competing or incomplete analyses into one secure answer.
