pigus

Lithuanian

Etymology

Of unknown origin. The word resembles Proto-Indo-European *peyǵ- (“inactive, reluctant”) somewhat, but cannot formally descend from it due to the *ǵ giving a ž in Lithuanian, in addition to the semantic link being tenuous.

Liukkonen mentions a Finnish pika (“quick, fast”) possibly being borrowed from the same origin as the Lithuanian; however, the existence of such a word in Finnish is in question (pika in Finnish seems to exist only as a borrowing from English, referring to the lagomorph).
