Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *met-. Per Derksen, possibly related to Latin metō (“to mow, to harvest”), Welsh medi (“to reap”), although many sources indicate no cognates outside of Balto-Slavic.[1] According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁- (“to measure”).[2]

Baltic cognates include Lithuanian mèsti (“to throw”) (1sg. metù, 3sg. mẽta), Latvian mest (“to throw”) (3sg. mȩt), Old Prussian pomests (“submissive”, perf. pass. part.), pomettīwingi (“obedient”, masc. nom. pl.). Also cognate with Lithuanian métyti (“to throw”) (1sg. métau), Latvian mẽtât.
