Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wiśis, from Proto-Indo-European *weyḱ-.
Akin to Latvian vìesis (“visitor”), Lithuanian viešis (“guest”). Further related to Latin vīcus (“village”), Proto-Germanic *wīkō (“settlement”), which may be the origin of Old Norse víkingr (“viking”). The latter was borrowed into Slavic as Proto-Slavic *vitędzь (“hero, knight”).
