"etymology_text": "The origin of this word is unclear. If, as has been proposed, gaist is connected to dialectal Latvian atgaiša, atgaišis (“wind blow; windy place”), then its original meaning could have been “to blow, to breathe,” perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)gʷes- (“to extinguish, to quench”) (whence also Latvian dzēst “to extinguish, to quench”; q.v.): its length grade *gʷēs- would become *gʷeys-, with o grade *gʷoys-, from which Proto-Balto-Slavic *gais- “to blow” → “to disappear with the wind,” “to vanish.” Another suggestion links gaist to ģībt (“to faint”); yet another, to Latin haereō (“to cling, to adhere”). Cognates include Lithuanian gaĩšti (“to linger, to hesitate; to perish, to die; to vanish, to disappear”).",

If, as has been proposed, gaist is connected to dialectal Latvian atgaiša, atgaišis (“wind blow; windy place”), then its original meaning could have been “to blow, to breathe,” perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)gʷes- (“to extinguish, to quench”) (whence also Latvian dzēst “to extinguish, to quench”; q.v.): its length grade *gʷēs- would become *gʷeys-, with o grade *gʷoys-, from which Proto-Balto-Slavic *gais- “to blow” → “to disappear with the wind,” “to vanish.” Another suggestion links gaist to ģībt (“to faint”); yet another, to Latin haereō (“to cling, to adhere”). Cognates include Lithuanian gaĩšti (“to linger, to hesitate; to perish, to die; to vanish, to disappear”).",
