Etymology 1

[edit]

    Inherited from Proto-Slavic *viti.

    Some of the derived terms, such as надви́я (nadvíja, to overwhelm), are technically derived from a homonymous **viti (to chase), which has attested cognates in Baltic, but has been lost in Slavic. See вина́ (viná, guilt) for another derivative from the same root.
