Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kimśtei (to cram), apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *k⁽ʷ⁾emḱ- (id), but without any known cognates outside of Balto-Slavic. Cognate with Proto-Slavic *čę̑stъ (frequent, dense) (whence Polish częsty (id));[1] the past passive participle form of this verb, kim̃štas, is particularly close in form to the Slavic cognates.[2]
