skūpstīšana (noun-from-verb)

From sūkstīt (“to suck repeatedly”), the iterative form of sūkt (“to suck”) (q.v.), via metathesis of k and ū and epenthesis of p, perhaps dissimilated from a previous k (sūkstīt > *skūstīt > *skūkstīt > skūpstīt). A verb skūstīties (“to flirt with a woman”) is attested in 19th-century texts. Note, however, that alongside sūkstīties, skūstīties there is also a dialectal variant sūpstīties; the standard form skūpstīt might therefore result from the merging or contamination of both stems sūkstīt and sūpstīt. In some dialects, the original meaning “to suck repeatedly” can still be found (skūpstīt sukura graudu “to suck a sugar cube”). (Lithuanian dialectal skupstýti (“to kiss”) is probably a borrowing from Latvian.)

Lithuanian vẽlinas > *velʲnas > vélnias). Cognates include Lithuanian vélnias, dialectal véls.

The meaning “intelligent person,” attested in the 18th century, has not survived, except in the derived term nejēga “ignorant.” Cognates include Lithuanian jėga (“force, power”), Ancient Greek ἥβη (hḗbē, “power, youthful strength”).
