A minority opinion is that joks is a borrowing from Latin iocus, via a Germanic language. The term is attested in 17th-century dictionaries, where smiekli (“laugh”) is a synonym; these terms became semantically differentiatiated by the mid-19th century, when the meaning of smiekli was broadened. Cognates include Lithuanian juõkas (“laugh, laughter; joke, joking; jesting, fun”), Latin iocus (“joke, jest”).

From Proto-Baltic *bēd-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰēdʰ-, the lengthened grade of *bʰedʰ- (“to bend, to press”). Via ē > ey alternation, there was also a parallel form *bʰeydʰ-, from which derive the Germanic and Greek forms, and its o-grade *bʰoydʰ-, from which derive the Slavic forms. (Some specialists consider bēda a borrowing from Slavic, but the falling intonation is not usually found on borrowings.) The meaning change was probably “to bend, to press” > “to experience coertion, humiliation” > “(to be in) a bad situation.” Cognates include Lithuanian bėdà, Proto-Slavic *běda (“adversity, misery”) (Russian беда́ (bedá, “adversity, tribulation, disaster”), Belarusian бе́дны (bjédny), бяда́ (bjadá), Ukrainian біда́ (bidá), Czech běda, bída (“need, poverty”), Polish bieda (“poverty, deprivation, unhappiness”)), Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (baidjan, “to ask for, to force”), Old High German beitten (“ask for”), Gothic 𐌱𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (bidjan, “to ask, to request”) (< “to bend”), German bitten, Sanskrit बाधते (bā́dhate, “to press”), obstacle, hardship (bādhá), Ancient Greek πείθω (peíthō, “to convince, to persuade”), Latin fīdo (“to trust, to rely upon”) (< *bʰidʰ-, the zero grade of *bʰeydʰ-).

prieki (plural vocative)

Usually derived from Proto-Baltic *prie (with an extra suffix -k), from a form *prēi- of Proto-Indo-European *prāi-, *prəi-, *pri- (“to admire, to respect; satisfied, happy mood”). From this stem, cognates are derived (with different extra suffixes) in other languages, among which: Russian прия́тель (prijátelʹ, “friend”), archaic прия́ть (prijátʹ, “to relate favorably, positively”), Gothic 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽 (frijōn, “to love”) (compare Dutch vrijen (“to cuddle, to kiss, to have sex”)), 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽𐌳𐍃 (frijōnds, “friend”) (compare German Freund, Dutch vriend, English friend), Sanskrit प्रीणाति (prīṇā́ti, “to like, to love, to be kind to”) (< stem *pri-), प्रितः (pritáḥ, “happy, delighted; well-groomed”). But note that *prēi- is not an expected ablaut form of *prāi-, which casts doubt on this etymology. Another possibility is to derive prieks from Proto-Baltic *priek-, from *prei- (with an extra -k), from Proto-Indo-European *per-, *spʰer- (“to pull, to throw, to kick”); the derived form *prew- of this stem yielded Russian прыгать (prygatʹ, “to jump”), Dutch vreugde, German Freude (“joy”).

cog

pāris nedēļu pagāja vienos priekos: izlaiduma balle, izlaiduma ekskursija

a couple of weeks went by only in joys, pleasures: the graduation ball, the graduation trip

(typically plural) joy, pleasure (events, circumstances, etc. which causes such positive emotional states)

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.)
