[ˈvàːɾîːt], [ˈvāːɾîːt]
CilmeFrom the same source as virt (“to boil”), of which it originally was the causative form. The vowel ā is unexpected, which made some specialists suggest that vārīt is ultimately a borrowing from Slavic; however, the expected form *vērt is attested in the 17th-century verb izvērt, and vārīt could be a regular iterative form of this unattested verb *vērt. Cognates include Lithuanian varùs (“easy to boil”), Old Church Slavonic варити (variti), Russian вари́ть (varítʹ), Belarusian вары́ць (varýcʹ), Ukrainian вари́ти (varýty), Bulgarian варя́ (varjá), Czech vařiti, Polish warzyć.
