Lithuanian
Etymology
Related to žadė́ti (“to promise”);[1] the underlying root is of uncertain origin. According to Blažek, it may be from Proto-Indo-European *ǵeh₂dʰ- (“to rejoice”), and be cognate with Ancient Greek γηθέω (gēthéō, “to rejoice, triumph”), Tocharian B kātk- (“id”), Latin gaudeō (“id”) (note that the Proto-Indo-European root is usually reconstructed with a *g, rather than a palatal *ǵ).[2][3] However, this derivation fails to explain the underlying short vowel, and is, on balance, semantically rather weak.
