Albanian

Etymology

Originally from *wem suffixed with te, from Proto-Albanian *wadmi, from Proto-Indo-European *weh₂dʰ-. The term might have been influenced by its Latin cognate, Latin vadō (“to go, walk”).[1] Also cognate to English wade, Old Armenian գամ (gam, “to come”). Possibly forms a doublet of va.
