Origin: IE [Indo-European] [513] * ieh₃s- `gird'

Etymology: The verbal adjective ζωστός has an exact parallel in Av. yāsta-, Lith. júostas, IE * ieh₃s-tos. In Balto-Slavic we find yot-presents Lith. júosiu (inf. júosti), OCS. po-jašǫ (inf. - jasati) `gird', in Iranian a secondary formation ( aiwi-)yāŋhayeiti `id.' (IE *i̯eh₃seieti). A rest of the athematic root present perhaps in (Thess.) ζούσθω ζωννύσθω H.; it agrees with OLith. 3. sg. pres. juos-ti. There is no agreement for the nasal prssent ζώννυμι \< *ζώσ-νυ-μι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 282 and 312) outside Greek. - Further close agreements are ζῶμα (\< IE *i̯eh₃s-mn̥) and Lith. juosmuõ `loin-, life-girdle' (IE i̯eh₃s-mṓ[n]), ζώνη ( *i̯eh₃s-nā) and Russ.-Csl. po-jasnь `id.' (i̯ōs-ni-); cf. further Skt. rā́snā `girdle' for *yā́snā after raśanā́ `knot, gird' (Wackernagel KZ 46, 272 = Kl. Schr. 1, 290)?; cf. the Kafir forms in Morgenstierne NTS 15, 253 and 280; further Mayrhofer KZ 75. - Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. júosti.
