Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/kystь
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editRelated to Proto-Slavic *kyta (“bundle, tuft”), *kytiti (“to bunch up”), perhaps from Proto-Balto-Slavic *kúnstei (“to cover, to wrap”) + *-tь, attested in Old Prussian kūnti (“to safeguard, to shelter”) and partially in Lithuanian kùsti, kū́sti (“to mend, to repair”), pres. kunta class 3p. (another attested meaning “to stir, to mess around, to roam” corresponding to pres. kū́sta class 3p. is likely from a different root; cf. Proto-Slavic *skytati (“to roam”), Latvian kustēt (“to move”)).
