|etymtx=-υος<br />Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[felloe]], [[rim of a shield]], also metaph., [[shield]] (Il.).<br />Derivatives: No deriv.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1120] <b class="b2">*uei-</b> [[bow]], [[bend]]<br />Etymology: Aeol. [[Ϝίτυς]] (gramm.; cf. also Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 144) proves connection with [[ἰτέα]], [[οἶσος]], [[ἶρις]], so prop. [[bowing]] (from where first [[willow]]?) as <b class="b3">τυ-</b>deriv. of a verb [[bow]], [[twist]] in Lat. [[viēre]] [[bind]], [[twist]], Skt. <b class="b2">vyáyati</b> [[wind]], [[wrap]], [[envelop]], ptc. <b class="b2">vītá-</b> (cf. <b class="b3">Ϝῖ-ρις</b>, <b class="b3">Ϝι-τέα</b>), Lith. <b class="b2">vejù</b>, <b class="b2">výti</b>, ptc. <b class="b2">výtas</b> (= Skt. <b class="b2">vītá-</b>), Slav., e. g. Russ. <b class="b2">vjú</b>, <b class="b2">vítь</b> [[turn]], [[wind]]. With [[Ϝίτυς]] agrees exactly Lat. [[vitus]] [[felloe]] (with [[vitūtus]] [[provided with a felloe]] (concluded from [[βιτωτός]] Ed. Diocl.), but rather as a loan (W.-Hofmann s. v.). Also elsewhere there are traces of [[tu-]]derivv. both in Greek and in Balto-Slavic: [[ἰτέα]], [[οἶσος]]; OPr. [[witwan]] [[willow]], OCS <b class="b2">větvь</b>, Russ. <b class="b2">vítvina</b> [[twig]], [[rod]]; direct connection with [[ἴτυς]] is however doubtful, cf.
