Proto-Slavic
Alternative forms
Etymology
Uncertain. The form without the initial *o- arose from the re-decomposition of *ob-ačiti > *obačiti > *o-bačiti > *bačiti, where the first part was perceived as the Slavic suffix *o(b)-.
- Borrowed from Eastern Iranian languages, probably from Scythian *abi-āšaya- (as is Proto-Slavic *gъpanъ (“ruler, master”)), further from Proto-Iranian *Habí-Hāxšáyati (“to watch; to guard, protect”) (compare Younger Avestan 𐬀𐬌𐬡𐬌𐬌𐬁𐬑𐬱𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀 (aiβiiāxšaiia, “to guard, supervise”), 𐬀𐬌𐬡𐬌𐬌𐬁𐬑𐬱𐬙𐬀𐬭 (aiβiiāxštar, “observer”), Khwarezmian (βyxȳ-), (ʾβyxy-, “to learn from, apprehend, retain”), Yagnobi яхшта (yaxšta, “to be seen, visible”))[2][3], from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Habʰí (“to, upon”) + *Hákši (“eye”) + Proto-Indo-European *-éyeti.[4][5]
- Traditionally derived from *o(b)- + **ačiti, where the root is presumably derived from *ȍko (“eye”), *ȍči du + *-iti.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Controversial due to lack of evidence for **ačiti and unclear long vowel in the first syllable *o- > *ō- > *a-, which is not in Church Slavonic обочити (obočiti, “to render manifest”) < Proto-Slavic *obočiti.[12][5][4]
Other etymologies are unconvincing:
- The assumption of borrowing from Proto-Turkic *bạk- (“to look; to watch”)[11] (compare Turkish bakmak, Crimean Tatar baqmaq) is rejected.[7][8][10]
- Doubtful from **ba-k-iti, which is supposedly derived from the interjection *ba! (“wow, really”) + *-k- extension + *-iti.[10][11][9]
- From the hypothetical **ba-kъ (“watchman, overseer, guardian”), which ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to speak, say”), as in *bàjati (“to tell”).[1][11]
Verb
- (West Slavic) to see, to notice, to watch
