Uncertain. Attested as "het" in Bogdani. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *i̯et (to set out for; to strive). Compare Old Irish ét (thirst), Irish éad (eagerness, jealousy), Latin sitis (thirst), Tocharian A yat (reach, get). Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *eus-ti-, cognate to Greek αἰτέω (aitéō, to demand, to beg). Orel suggests Proto-Albanian *alk-ti-, drawing comparisons to Lithuanian álkti (to be hungry), Proto-Slavic *olkati (id.), and Old High German ilgi (hunger).[1]
