Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Balto-Slavic *waitjāˀtei. Equivalent to *větiti + *-jati, from *větъ + *-iti. Cognate with Old Prussian waitiāt (“to say”). Connections outside of Balto-Slavic unclear. Possibly related to Avestan 𐬀𐬉𐬚𐬀- (aēθa-, “to verdict”).
In most descendants, this verb merged with Proto-Slavic *věščati (“to prophesy”), from *věščь (“proficient”).
