Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Unclear. The word is likely a derivative, but two different analyses are possible:

  • from a root *paa- continued also in *paatadak (to stick, esp. burned food in a pot), *paattadak (to cover with sticky material), with the suffix +‎ *-istadak. If this analysis is correct, the root is then likely to be a borrowing from Northwestern Germanic *bāja- (to heat, warm) (whence German bähen), from Proto-Germanic *bēaną, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₁-.
  • from a root *pais-, possibly continued also in *paisudak (to swell), with the suffix +‎ *-tadak.
  • related to Udmurt пиштыны (pištyny, to shine).

Verb

  1. (intransitive) to shine (of the sun)
