Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *meit- (“to feed on”), and cognate with Latvian mist (“id”). The Baltic root seems to further derive from a Proto-Indo-European *meyt(h)-, though cognates are debated. Pokorny equated the root to *meyth₂- (“to exchange”), taking the primary meaning as "abode, dwelling-place"; Derksen is skeptical due to another descendant of said root, Proto-Slavic *mě̀sto (“place, town”), featuring an acute accent rather than the circumflex accent found in the Baltic forms. Fraenkel is skeptical as well, and prefers connecting Old Irish méith (“fat”) and Icelandic meið (“fattiest whale blubber”).
