单词 linksmas
释义

linksmas

Lithuanian

Linksmos merginos - Happy girls

Etymology

Cognate with Latvian līksms (cheerful). From Proto-Baltic *linksma-, from Proto-Indo-European *ln̥k-smo-.

Related to Lithuanian linkėti (wish), which derives from the same root as Lithuanian linkti (bow), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lenk- (bend).[1] Perhaps bowing was a way of expressing one's best wishes,[2] and from that point the evolution of meanings was 'wished' → 'acceptable' → 'pleasant' → 'joyful'.[1]
