Russian edit
Etymology 1 edit
Inherited from Old East Slavic вѣнъкъ (věnŭkŭ), from Proto-Slavic *věnъkъ, from *věnъ (“wreath”) + *-ъkъ, details of further origin unclear (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wóh₁y-nós or derived later) but ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weh₁y- (“to twist, wind, weave”).
Cognate to вен (ven), венец (venec), вейка (vejka), вить (vitʹ), also compare dialectal Latvian vaînuks, vaîņuks (“wreath”).
Cognates in other Slavic languages include Ukrainian віно́к (vinók), Serbo-Croatian vijenac, Czech věnec, etc.
