Middle Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Old Armenian վազ (vaz, “leap, jump, springing forward; run, running”). The basic sense is "something that has sprung forward, new shoot". Compare Russian побе́г (pobég) from бежа́ть (bežátʹ), English sprout (“to spring up; new growth on a plant”) for similar formations.[1][2][3][4] The sense "shoot (of vine)" must have existed already in Old Armenian, from which Old Georgian ვაზი (vazi, “shoot”) was borrowed.

Noun[edit]

վազ • (vaz)

  1. shoot (of vine)
