Lithuanian
Etymology
Cognate with Old Prussian quoitā (“wants”), quoi (“(I/you) want”), quāits (“desire”), from a Proto-Baltic *kwit-,[1] perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeh₂- (“to acquire, seek”) and cognate with Latin quaerō (“to seek, question”).[2] Older comparisons to Lithuanian káitėti (“to lack, be wanting”), Old East Slavic свѣтъ (světŭ, “world; society”), and Latin invītō (“to invite”) have formal and semantic issues.[3]
