Etymology

From Ukrainian ????????? pl (varényky), singular ???????? (varényk), and related terms in other languages, e.g. Russian ????????? (varéniki) and (particularly in Mennonite communities) Plautdietsch Wareniki. The Ukrainian term comes from ???????? (várenyj, “boiled”), from ??????? (varýty, “to boil, to cook”), from Old East Slavic ?????? (variti), from Proto-Slavic *variti (“to cook”) + masculine ending -?? (-yk). Compare ??? (var, “boiling liquid; cooking, boiling”), from Proto-Slavic *var?, from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to burn, blacken”).
