From Proto-Balto-Slavic *dein- (oblique stem *din-); compare Latvian dìena, Old Prussian deinan (acc. sg.), Proto-Slavic *dьnь. The ablaut in Balto-Slavic suggests an original Proto-Indo-European n-stem *déy-n- (genitive *din-és (“day”)); compare Old Irish denus (“period of time”), Sanskrit मध्यन्दिन (madhyáṃdina-, “midday”), Latin nūndina (“market day”), Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌽𐍄𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (sinteins, “always, daily”). The root *dey- is also seen in diẽvas (“god”); see for more. Cognate with Samogitian dėina.

ámžiau (singular vocative)
ámžiai (plural vocative)

Cognate with Latvian mužs (“life”), Old Prussian amsis, amsin (“people”), with further origin unclear:
* King derives the Baltic terms from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ems-ǵʰ-, an extension of *h₂ems- (“to give birth, beget”), comparing Hittite 𒄩𒀭𒍝𒀸𒊭𒀸 (ḫa-an-za-aš-ša-aš, “offspring”) in particular. The hypothetical series of phonetic developments is Proto-Indo-European *h₂ems-ǵʰ- > Proto-Balto-Slavic *hams-ź- > Proto-Baltic *amhź- > Lithuanian *āmź- > ámžius. This seems most tenable, when considering phonetics and semantics.
* Fraenkel tentatively connects the word to Bulgarian мъж (mǎž, “man”), and thus implicitly derives the words from Proto-Balto-Slavic *mangjás (“man; husband”).
* Heidermanns tentatively derives the word from an earlier *au-miź-i-, from *h₂ew (“away”) + *h₃meyǵʰ- (“to urinate”), with semantic development "to urinate away" > "to seed (life)" > "life, era". This is semantically rather ad hoc.

The meaning probably went from “to flow, to pass” to “morning” through the idea of the time when the day starts to flow, to pass (or maybe the idea of the sun rising up at daybreak). Cognates include Latvian rīts, Old Church Slavonic ристати (ristati, “to move hastly back-and-forth”).
