According to Georges Dumézil (1898–1986), a French comparative philologist (quoting glottologist Emil Benveniste) the name of the goddess derives from Indoeuropean root *(e)eu- amplified to *(e)uee and with an addition of an 's'. This amplified root has two possible forms: *(e)eu-s, to be found in Greek 'heuei', Latin. 'urit', 'ustio' and Vedic 'osathi' all meaning to burn, burning. The second is *(e)u-ee to be found in 'Vesta', Greek 'Hestia'. See also Gallic Celtic 'visc' fire.
