Lithuanian

Etymology

Etymology unclear. Related to Belarusian dialectal а́цю (ácju, thank you), а́ціць (ácicʹ, to thank), Polish dialectal aću, aciu (thank you), although these may be Balticisms.[1] As frequently used words often undergo irregular phonetic changes, it may be a clipping of multiple words, as in other words for "thank you": Russian спаси́бо (spasíbo) < съпаси́ богъ (sŭpasí bogŭ, God save (you)), Latvian paldies < palīdz Dievs (may God help), Romanian mulțumesc < mulțănesc (I wish (you) many years).[2] One suggested source is atjautà jùms (sympathy to you),[3] although this is likely a folk etymology (compare dėkui).
