Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Most conveniently explained from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂- (“to go, to walk around”) which was displaced by Proto-Slavic *jьti but is retained in dialectal Lithuanian góti apart from some old derivations. Stankiewicz, before this was understood, proposed *gʰeh₁bʰ- (“to grab”) found as Proto-Slavic *gabati (“to grab”) meaning in Lithuanian góbti also “to wrap, to cover”, however from the first root there is *gatь (“a causeway through swamps”), and suffixed + *-ja one had therefore (one leg of a pair or trinity of) rain trousers for walking through swamps, which is particularly likely since one knows that the Slavs before their expansion dwelt in the Polish swamps.
