Vista There are two theories on the origin of this word. One derives it fromProto-Baltic *wiš- (with an extra element-tā ), fromProto-Indo-European *wik- , thezero grade form of*weyḱ- ( “ house, settlement ” ) . The original meaning would then have been “(relating to) the house, the settlement", from which "domestic (animal)” and finally “chicken.” The other theory relates it toAvestan 𐬬𐬍𐬱 ( vīš ,“ bird ” ) , possibly from aProto-Indo-European stem*weys- . Cognates includeLithuanian vištà .[ 1]
