Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Per Trubachyev, the most likely etymology is from Proto-Balto-Slavic *bōˀgā́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰéh₃g-eh₂-ti, from *bʰeh₃g- (to bake). Cognate with Ancient Greek φώγω (phṓgō, to roast) and Proto-Germanic *bakaną (to bake).

A relation with Sanskrit भजति (bhájati, to distribute) and Slavic forms like *bogatъ (rich), *bogъ (God) (all from *bʰeh₂g-) is less likely.

Verb

*bagati impf

  1. to ignite fire (obsolete)
  2. to desire
