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).
