žirgts

Etymology
From a (no longer extant) verb (the r follows the pattern of, ), from , from , , from  with an extra -g (without this -g, this stem yielded 🇨🇬). In Latvian, the Proto-Baltic initial ž was conserved, maybe for onomatopoeic expressive reasons; note that the (possibly) related term has the expected initial z. The meaning changed from “(that which) shines, glows” to “happy, cheerful, joyous” and finally “lively, brisk, alert.”
