Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gilˀtas, akin to Lithuanian gel̃tas (stress pattern 4), Latvian dzȩlts (dialectal, standard dzeltens). Classically derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰl̥h₃tós from *ǵʰelh₃- (“to sprout, to shine”), similar to Proto-Slavic *zelenъ (“green”), *zoltъ (“golden”). This reconstruction however does not explain the palatalized *ž-.
