Vesta

== English == === Etymology === From Middle English Vesta, from Latin Vesta, related to Ancient Greek ἑστία (hestía, “to dwell”) and Ἑστία (Hestía, “Hestia”), all from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wes-; see also Old High German and Old English wesan (“to be”), Gothic wisan, Sanskrit वसति (vasati, “abide dwell”). Vesta itself came to mean chaste, pure, or virgin, based from this goddess. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈvɛstə/ Rhymes: -ɛstə === Proper noun === Vesta (Roman mythology) The virgin goddess of the hearth, fire, and the household, and therefore a deity of domestic life. The Roman counterpart of Hestia. A female given name from Latin in occasional use.

De Vaan relates the term with Ancient Greek Ἑστία (Hestía), in which case a connection with *h₂wes- (“to dwell”) cannot be maintained. Ultimately, De Vaan suggests that it is perhaps a loanword. Alternatively, the EIEC tentatively suggests that both the Latin and Greek word may derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₁w-es-, a by-form of *h₁ews- (“to burn”). Beekes, however, rejects the etymological connection between the Latin and Greek terms.
