Etymology
Ultimately from, likely verbalized from the perfect w-participle (Van Wijk, Stang). Per Derksen, in particular from pre-Balto-Slavic.

Reconstruction notes
Modern descendants point towards columnar circumflex root-stress (except for the infinitive in Lithuanian with ictus on the thematic vowel). Kortlandt considers the circumflex as original for the overall derivational pattern.
