liūtas

See also: Liūtas

Lithuanian

Etymology 1

Apparently a nominalization of an obsolete liū̃tas (“fierce”), found in phrases such as liū̃tas lẽvas (“fierce lion”), with the meaning of "lion" being transferred from lẽvas (for which see Proto-Slavic *lь̀vъ (“lion”)) to liū̃tas. The latter is itself cognate with Proto-Slavic *ľutъ (“harsh, cruel, fierce”); see there for more.^[1]
