adj i-stem likely, to be expected promising, hopeful Possible vṛddhi gerundive of unattested *wenaną (‘to be accustomed to, expect’), from Proto-Indo-European *wénh₁-e-ti, from *wenh₁- (‘to love’). Orel however considers the word to be an adjectival derivative of the noun sense in Etymology 2, though ultimately traces the word back to *wenh₁- regardless.
