Word: воск,
Near etymology: род. п. во́ска, прилаг. восково́й, вощано́й, укр. вiск, блр. воск, др.-русск., ст.-слав. воскъ κηρός (Супр.), болг. во́сък, сербохорв. во̏сак, чеш. vosk, польск. wosk, в.-луж., н.-луж. wosk.
Further etymology: Исконнородственно лит. vãškas, лтш. vasks, д.-в.-н. wahs, нов.-в.-н. Wachs, но едва ли также греч. ἰξός "птичий клей", лат. viscum; см. Mi. EW 395; Фик 1, 554; Траутман, BSW 343; М. -- Э. 4, 485; Эндзелин, СБЭ 57; Клюге-Гётце 663. Вопреки Торпу (381), нет никакого основания считать балт.-слав. слово заимств. из герм.; см. Лиден, Stud. 28.
