Proto-Balto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *wrónk-eh₂ or *rónk-eh₂. This appears to be derived from a verbal root *wrenk- or *renk-, with further appurtenance outside of Balto-Slavic uncertain.
According to Karulis, the root is *wrenk- and derived from the zero grade of a root *wer- (“to turn, to bend”). The original meaning was then “bent, bending (organ, limb)”.[1] Compare Proto-Germanic *wranhō (“angle, corner, nook”) and Latin branca, whence English branch.
According to Derksen and Kümmel, the root in question is found in Lithuanian riñkti (“to gather”); see there for more possible cognates.[2][3][4]
