Appearance
Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Form an earlier u-stem adjective *bojъ + *-ьkъ, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyh₂- (“to fight”). Formally equivalent to Lithuanian bajùs (“terrible”),[1] which is from the same PIE root but from another meaning to frighten (whence are Proto-Slavic *bojati (“to fear”), *bojaznь (“fear”)). The later is attested relatively late, though.
