Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Normally reconstructed as stemming from Proto-Indo-European *peyH-. Derksen considers it more likely to stem from Proto-Balto-Slavic *peit-, from Proto-Indo-European *peyt-, assumed to be from the same root *pey- that underlies *peyH- but with a different root extension. Cognates involving *peyt- include Lithuanian piẽtūs (“dinner”, pl.), Sanskrit पितु (pitú, “nutrition”), Avestan 𐬞𐬌𐬙𐬎‎ (pitu, “food”), 𐬞𐬌𐬚𐬎𐬎𐬁‎ (piθuuā, “food”), Old Irish ithid (“to eat”), Boeotian dialectal Ancient Greek πιτεύω (piteúō, “to irrigate, to water (cattle)”). Cognates involving *peyH- include Sanskrit पीवन् (pī́van, “fat”), English fat and many other words; see the root for more cognates.
