Abstract
The aim of this paper is twofold: firstly, to clarify the morphological and phonological differences between Slavic *větrъ and Germanic *windaz (and their Polish and English reflexes); secondly, to explain their origin. In addition to outlining and comparing the strong and weak points of the etymologies offered so far, the article presents new arguments supporting the deducibility of *větrъ from *vět-, substantiated by the Kajkavian zavet / zavetje 'place sheltered from wind'.
