Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *válśas, *válśis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wolh₁ḱos, *h₂wolh₁ḱis, from the root *h₂welh₁- (“hair; wool”). Cognate with Sanskrit वल्श (válśa, “twig, sprout”), Avestan 𐬬𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬯𐬀‎ (varəsa, “hair (on the head)”), Old Persian [script needed] (vars), Persian گرس‎ (gors, “curled hair”), Northern Kurdish pirç (“hair”) and Lithuanian valaĩ. Akin to Old Armenian վարս (vars), an Iranian borrowing.
