Etymology 1

Inherited from Old East Slavic вѣнъкъ (věnŭkŭ), from Proto-Slavic *věnъkъ, from *věnъ (“wreath”) + *-ъkъ, details of further origin unclear (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wóh₁y-nós or derived later) but ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weh₁y- (“to twist, wind, weave”).

Cognate to вен (ven), вене́ц (venéc), ве́йка (véjka), вить (vitʹ), also compare dialectal Latvian vaînuks, vaîņuks (“wreath”).

Cognates in other Slavic languages include Ukrainian віно́к (vinók), Serbo-Croatian vijenac, Czech věnec, etc.
