Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wékeras (“evening”), from Proto-Indo-European *wekʷsperos. The stem was probably originally an adjective, of which vakars < *vakaras was a nominalized version, and vakar the adverbial form, originally meaning “the previous night” and only later “yesterday”; compare Russian ве́чер (véčer, “evening”), вчера́ (včerá, “yesterday”). Cognates include Lithuanian vãkaras, Old Church Slavonic вечеръ (večerŭ), Russian, Bulgarian ве́чер (véčer), Belarusian ве́чар (vjéčar), Ukrainian ве́чір (véčir), Czech večer, Polish wieczór, Ancient Greek ἕσπερος (hésperos), Latin vesper, Old Armenian գիշեր (gišer). See: Czech Nouns 'večer', Polish Nouns 'wieczór', Ancient Greek Nouns 'ἕσπερος', Latin Nouns 'vesper'.
