Lithuanian
Etymology
Smoczynski tentatively connects the word to tesė́ti (“to keep up with work; to suffice”), and leaves the further origin of both open. A connection to Proto-Indo-European *tetḱ- (“to create; to cut”) seems semantically feasible. Note also similarities in form and meaning to tę̃sti (“to continue, extend”), the latter from Proto-Indo-European *tens- (“to stretch”).
