Syllable Decomposition

hardi

the past participle of the archaic verb hardir, which has given the current enhardir; hardir responds to the Old High German hartjan ('to harden, make strong'), from the Old High German harti ('hard, speaking of things; strong, bold, speaking of persons'). Grimm's law directly traces harti back to the Sanskrit kratu, 'he who achieves' and also 'power'; it is the Greek adjective translating as 'strong'.
