James' dictionary, also likely related pl. ветили in 1597), borrowed – probably in the context of firearms and artillery technology, where it displaced indigenous жагра (žagra, “tinder, especially a fungal one; match in a matchlock”) – from Ottoman Turkish فتیل (“wick; fuse”) (whence Turkish fitil) from Arabic فَتِيل (fatīl).
