vaskos

See also: Vaskos

Hungarian

Etymology

Uncertain. First attested in 1746. Perhaps it is derived from the noun vas (“iron”), but the method of derivation is irregular. For a similar derivation, compare nehézkes (“cumbersome”). The formation of the different senses may have been also influenced by the adjective vastag (“thick”).
