Etymology
, from, which was denominalised from one of the derivatives of the root ; compare ,. The vecc ~ vikk transitivity alternation is well-preserved throughout Indo-Aryan languages, so it must have occurred by the Middle Indo-Aryan stage.

Bloch alternatively tied this term to, from the root , but this is phonologically (there is no clear source for -cc-) and semantically (only Marathi continues the "spend" meaning, which could be better explained as a specification from "sell") difficult.

Others have tied to it (a compound of  + ; the source of the vikk- forms in NIA), but this is also strange since palatalisation is not expected in every NIA reflex.
