Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *degut(j)as, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ-. Equivalent to Pre-Slavic *degti (“to burn, to heat”) + *-ъtь.
Since Baltic forms have a clear connection between each noun and verb (cf. Lithuanian degùtas : dègti; Latvian deguts (“birch tar”) : degt) and Common Slavic has only *žeťi as a verb, *degъtь seems to be of Baltic origin. But Brückner did not see Polish dziegieć as Baltic borrowing[1] and Derksen regards this term as a relic of Proto-Indo-European form[2]
