Lithuanian

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gáuˀtei, *gū́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷew(H)- (to gain). Cognate with Latvian gaut, gūt (to catch, gain) and (per Trubačev) Proto-Slavic *gyti, *guviti (to acquire). Outside of Balto-Slavic, likely related to Avestan 𐬔𐬏𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬌𐬙𐬌 (gūnaoiti, to supply).

Tentatively further compared with Proto-Celtic *boudi (booty, loot), of disputed origin.
