Latvian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the same stem as vingrs (“agile, strong”), made into a second-conjugation verb (ending -ot). In its present sense, this word was introduced by Atis Kronvalds in the 1870s, apparently based on a pre-existing dialectal term *vingrot or *vingroties (cf. dialectal vinguroties “to squirm, to writhe, to wiggle”).[1]
