Etymology

There are two theories on the origin of this word. One derives it from Proto-Baltic *wiš- (with an extra element -t?), from Proto-Indo-European *wik-, the zero grade form of *wey?- (“house, settlement”). The original meaning would then have been “(relating to) the house, the settlement", from which "domestic (animal)” and finally “chicken.” The other theory relates it to Avestan ????????????? (v?š, “bird”), possibly from a Proto-Indo-European stem *weys-. Cognates include Lithuanian vištà.
