Usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)gʷes- (“extinguish, quell”).[1] Cognates in this case include Sanskrit जासयति (jāsayati, “to exhaust”),[1] Lithuanian gesti (“to extinguish, to go out”), Irish bás (“death”) and Old Church Slavonic оугасити (ugasiti, “to extinguish”).[1]
However, Beekes argues that judging by the Hittite 𒆠𒅖𒋫𒊑 (kištāri, “to be extinguished, perish”), as well as by the aberrant σ- in the anlaut and the uncommonness of -σβ- in Greek inherited lexicon, the PIE root should be *ges-, and stem σβέσ- should be separated.
