Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Formed as *vapъ (dye) +‎ *-ьno; beyond that, of uncertain origin. Supposed to be related to Latvian vãpe (glaze), Old Prussian woapis (dye). Other similar lemmas in Indo-European languages, with no certain relation, include Latin vapor (steam), Albanian vapë (hot weather).

The verb вапсати (vapsati, to paint), which has spread among some daughter languages via Church Slavonic, is generally disregarded as a potential relative. The later is derived from the aorist of Ancient Greek βάπτω (báptō, to soak, to dye).

Noun

[edit]

*vapьnò or *vápьno n[1]

  1. lime (as material for dyes)
    Synonyms: *varъ, *bagrъ
