svaga

Esperanto

Etymology

From French vague, German vage, English vague, all from Latin vagus.

The initial s- is of unclear origin, probably added to avoid collision with vagi, possibly inspired by Italian svagare (“amuse, distract”) and svagato (“absent-minded, distracted”), or by Swedish svag (“weak”), Danish svag (“weak”).
