Originally a parallel form to an older adjective *bals (which disappeared probably because of homophony with balss “voice,” but left related terms like the verbs balot, balēt “to bleach, to fade,” balināt “to whiten, to blanch”), from the same source as the adjective balts (“white”) (q.v.). Note that the long/short parallel forms apparently reflect an older state of affairs: alongside Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“shiny, white”), the source of *bals and balts, there was also *bʰa- (< *bʰeh₂-), from which Proto-Baltic *bāl- and Latvian bāls. The original meaning was probably wider (closer to “white”), but the co-existence with balts restricted it to its current range.

From Proto-Baltic *knas- (which, with *-yos, yields *knaš-yos > knašs), from Proto-Indo-European *kn-es-, *kn-os-, from the zero grade of *ken- (“to try, to hurry, to move”). A different hypothesis is that knašs might originally result from methatesis on nasks (q.v.). A third possibility is that it was a borrowing from Baltic German knasch (“hurried, quick, agile”), although it is also quite possible that knasch was borrowed from Latvian knašs, since it was only found in Baltic varieties of German. Cognates include Ancient Greek ἐγκονέω (enkonéō, “to hurry, to be quick and active”), Latin cōnor (“to try, to attempt”).

From the merging of two homophonous sources: on the one hand, borrowed from Slavic (cf. Old Church Slavonic правъ (pravŭ, “straight; innocent; correct, good”), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “straight; innocent; right-hand”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pro- “forward”; there are 17th-century attestations of Latvian prāvs meaning “straight”), and, on the other hand, an inherited term, from Proto-Baltic *prāvas, from Proto-Indo-European *prew-, *prow-, *praw- (“to jump”), from *per (“over, above”). The meaning would have evolved from “to jump” > “to jump (high), to stand out” > “outstanding” (a meaning still attested in 17th-century sources, in parallel to the aforementioned “straight”) > “large, big”. Cognates (from *prow-, *prew-, *praw-) include Old Norse frár (“quick, agile”), Old High German frao, frō, frawēr (“strong, agile, energetic”), German froh (“happy, cheerful”).

From a (no longer extant) verb žirgt (“to liven up, to fresehn up”) (the r follows the pattern of stingt (“to harden, stiffen”), stingrs (“firm, strong, strict”)), from Proto-Baltic *žirgt(e)y, from *žerg-, *žirg-, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer- (“to shine, to glow”) with an extra -g (without this -g, this stem yielded Lithuanian žìrti (“to sparkle”)). In Latvian, the Proto-Baltic initial ž was conserved, maybe for onomatopoeic expressive reasons; note that the (possibly) related term zirgs (“horse”) has the expected initial z. The meaning changed from “(that which) shines, glows” to “happy, cheerful, joyous” and finally “lively, brisk, alert.”
