Lithuanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Balto-Slavic *gáuˀtei, *gū́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷew(H)- (“to gain”). Cognate with Latvian gaut, gūt (“to catch, gain”), Old Prussian pogaũt (“to receive”), and (per Trubačev) Proto-Slavic *gyti, *guviti (“to acquire”). Outside of Balto-Slavic, likely related to Avestan 𐬔𐬏𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬌𐬙𐬌 (gūnaoiti, “to supply”), 𐬔𐬏𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬙𐬌 (gūnaoti, “to increase”).[1] Derksen instead prefers a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₃- (“to feed, tend”) and compares Ancient Greek βόσκω (bóskō, “id”).[2]
Tentatively further compared with Proto-Celtic *boudi (“booty, loot”), of disputed origin.
