vėl

Etymology
Of origin.

Smoczynski tentatively takes the word as coming from the same origin as, but doesn't trace the words' origin further back.

Buck derives the word either from or its Lithuanian descendant, noting that various Indo-European branches derive words meaning "again" from a root meaning "to turn back", via a series of shifts "(to turn) back" > "back again" > "again". For such a development, compare 🇨🇬, derived from 🇨🇬.

Another theory takes the word as possibly from. Compare 🇨🇬 (-ve), 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.
