maudyti

Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *m(a)ūˀ- (“to wash, submerge”), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *mỳti (“to wash”). Further origin outside of Balto-Slavic is uncertain; the root is generally reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *mewH-, which Derksen and Fraenkel take to be the same as *m(y)ewh₁- (“to move”), with semantic shift "to move" > "to move in water" > "to submerge". By surface analysis, the causative formation of máuti (“to put on, tear, pull, stab, strike, dash”).^[1]

It is worth noting that various descendants of *m(y)ewh₁- (“to move”) seem to carry connotations of fine, specialized, and skilled movements; compare Sanskrit मूत (mūta, “a woven basket”), Sanskrit मव्यति (mavyati, “to bind”) (whence the first component of English Muay Thai).
