Etymology
1. From Proto-Finno-Permic *wačka- + *-t'ak (compare Erzya вачкамс (vačkams, “to pile up”), вачкодемс (vačkodems, “to stick”) and Eastern Mari вӱчкалташ (vüčkaltaš, “to pat on the back”).
2. Alternatively from Proto-Uralic *watka- (compare Southern Sami vuerhkedh (“(of a reindeer) to rub against a tree to remove skin around antlers”), Moksha ваткамс (vatkams, “to skin, bark, peel; beat”), Eastern Mari вокташ (voktaš, “to tear bark off a tree”), Tundra Nenets [script needed] (wātā-, “to tear bark off a tree”)). This requires a reconstruction *vatkat'ak, which is equally valid for the descendants. However, this is less likely for semantic reasons. See: Erzya '
вачкамс'.
