Etymology

From *ot- + Proto-Balto-Slavic *jaut-. Cognate with Lithuanian jaũsti (“to feel, to sense”) (1sg. jaučiù, 3sg. jaũčia, 3sg. past jaũtė), jùsti (“to feel”) (1sg. juntù, 3sg. juñta, 3sg. past jùto), jutė́ti (“to feel”) (1sg. jutù), Latvian jàust (“to feel, to notice, to understand, to heed”), just (“to feel, to notice”). Per Derksen, possibly connected with Sanskrit वत् (vat, “to get acquainted with”), but only under the assumption that the zero-grade Proto-Indo-European *ut- of the root *wet- was formed into a new full grade *ewt- in the Indo-European dialects underlying Balto-Slavic.

Forms in daughter languages that lack initial o- are due to reanalysis of assimilated *oťutiti as *o-ťutiti with prefix *o-, followed by extraction of the reanalyzed root verb.
