Latvian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A word coined at the beginning of the 19th century, apparently from a (non-existing) present passive participle *esams (compare Lithuanian ẽsamas (“being”), Latvian esošs) + -ība. J. Endzelīns considered the word wrong; in 1935, he proposed (unsuccessfully) esme and ira as replacements. A new, and still in use, synonym esība was coined in 1963.[1]
