Derivatives: ἑανός name of a womans cloth s. v. εἵματα pl. (rarely sg.) `clothes, cover' (Il.), Aeol. (Ϝ)έμματα ( γέμματα ἱμάτια H.), Cret. Ϝῆμα ( γῆμα ἱμάτιον H.), also gen. sg. Ϝήμας, of Ϝήμᾱ f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1172] *u̯es- `cloth'

Etymology: The present ἕννυμι, εἵνυμι \< *Ϝέσ-νυ-μι (Att. - νν- from restored - σν-, Schwyzer 284, 312, 322, Lejeune Traité de phon. 105) is identical with Arm. z-genum `put on' (aor. z-ge-c̣ay, med.). Beside this nu-present an athem. rootpresent in Indoiranian and Hittite, Skt. vás-te `clothes himself', Hitt. impv. act. 2. pl. u̯eš-ten, ind. pres. med. 3. sg. u̯eš-ta. Exactly parallel are the perfekt forms εἷμαι \< *Ϝέσ-μαι, with analog. εἷται, 2. sg. ἕσ-σαι (Od.), 3. sg. ἐπί-εσται (Hdt. 1, 47, = aind. vás-te); perh. these are reinterpreted (ptc. εἱμένος) old presents; see Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 297, Schwyzer 767. One the σ-aorist cf. Toch. B pret. wässāte `he put on' and Pedersen 106. - The nominal derivv. can be old: ἑανός m.: Skt. vás-ana-m n. `cloth'; εἷμα = Skt. vás-man- n. `cloth'; Ϝέστρᾱ: Skt. vás-tra-m n. `id.', MHG wes-ter `christening robe'. Greek does not have (except uncertain γεστία, s. above) the normal t-deriv. in Lat. ves-ti-s, Arm. zges-t (instr. zgest-u, u-stem), Goth. wasti, Toch. B was-tsi (prop. inf.). - See Ernout-Meillet s. vestis. The idea that IE. u̯es- `cloth' is a deriv. of eu- (* h₁eu-) `put on' in Lat. ind-uō etc.is impossible because of the h₁-.
