### Etymology 1

From Middle Persian 𐭥𐭩𐭭𐭩𐭪 (wēnīg), traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see”) and related to بین (bīn / bin, form of دیدن (dīdan / didan)).
However, Gershevitch rejects this etymology, transcribing the Middle Persian term as wīnīg instead, and deriving it from Proto-Iranian *wí (“apart”) + an Iranian formation descended from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe”). The prefix is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wí, from Proto-Indo-European *wí (“apart”).
