Apparently from the adjective*gʷih₃wós(“alive, living”), ultimately from the root*gʷeyh₃-(“to live”).
However, Gąsiorowski (2006)[1] takes this verb (and thus the root) to be an irregular dissimilation of*gʷígʷwe-, an isolated reduplicating thematic present from a lost*gʷew-(“move”) (?) with an o-grade root noun in*gʷṓws.
