Summary / Abstract:

ENThe article examines the meaning and etymology of Lithuanian words krìkštas, krìkštyti and krikštẽlis. It is shown that these words were not initially connected with Christian rites and that, contrary to widely accepted views, their origins cannot be explained through a lexical borrowing from Slavic languages. Following the Christianization of Lithuania these words passed from everyday use to the religious language.
