Proto-Finnic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Most likely from Proto-Finno-Permic *wäśä-(w-) (compare Komi-Permyak висьны (viśny), Udmurt висьыны (viśyny)). Cognate with Proto-Samic *viesëtēk. Alternatively possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic [Term?], compare Old Norse vás (toil, fatigue, from bad weather), væstr (worn out by wet and toil) and Icelandic væsa.

Verb[edit]

*väsüdäk (stem *väsü-)

  1. to tire, to become tired, to fatigue
