• “увага”, in Skarnik's Belarusian dictionary (in Belarusian), based on Kandrat Krapiva's Explanatory Dictionary of the Belarusian Language (1977-1984)
• “увага” in Belarusian–Russian dictionaries and Belarusian dictionaries at slounik.org

Inherited from Old Slovak úvaha (“consideration, thinking”). Most likely semantically influenced by Polish uwaga, perhaps via Carpathian Rusyn ува́га (uváha). By surface analysis, deverbal from уважиц (uvažic, “to acknowledge, recognize”).
