Etymology

[edit]

If the original sense was "of the morning," possibly from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wāsarás, a vṛddhi derivative of *wásr̥ (spring). If so, related to वसन्त (vasanta, spring).[1][2]

Gamkrelidze et al. instead prefer a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wes- (to stay, dwell, spend the night), also the source of वसति (vasati, staying, dwelling).[3]
