Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰleyǵ-. It is uncertain whether the original meaning was:
- “discernible, obvious” from proto-meaning “to shine” as in Proto-Germanic *blaikaz (“bleak, pale”);
- “striking” from proto-meaning “to strike, to afflict” as in Lithuanian bláižyti (“to tear off, to scar”), Latvian bliêzt (“to beat”), and Latin flīgō (“to strike”).
