See veikals on Wiktionary

Noun [Latvian]

IPA: [vēīkals] Audio: Lv-veikals.ogg
Etymology: Coined by Juris Alunāns in the 1850s, on the basis of Lithuanian veĩkalas (“work, activity”) (ultimately from the same source as the Latvian verb veikt “to carry out, to accomplish”, q.v.), with the meaning “activity, undertaking, business”. The word existed independently at that time (recorded in 1858), borrowed from Lithuanian [Term?] in Southern Latgale dialects. After being introduced into the written language, it soon changed its meaning ("veikals, in German Unternehmen, in Russian подря́д (podrjád), work which one carries out with the help of hired workmen"; 1863). A. Kronvalds used veikals in the sense of "business". The current meaning ("shop") appeared at the end of the 19th century and became quickly dominant.

  "etymology_text": "Coined by Juris Alunāns in the 1850s, on the basis of Lithuanian veĩkalas (“work, activity”) (ultimately from the same source as the Latvian verb veikt “to carry out, to accomplish”, q.v.), with the meaning “activity, undertaking, business”. The word existed independently at that time (recorded in 1858), borrowed from Lithuanian [Term?] in Southern Latgale dialects. After being introduced into the written language, it soon changed its meaning (\"veikals, in German Unternehmen, in Russian подря́д (podrjád), work which one carries out with the help of hired workmen\"; 1863). A. Kronvalds used veikals in the sense of \"business\". The current meaning (\"shop\") appeared at the end of the 19th century and became quickly dominant.",
