Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *vastat'ak, equivalent to vasta- (“against”) + -ta. * (to correspond to): Probably a semantic loan, ultimately from Medieval Latin correspondeō (“to correspond”) (from respondeō (“to respond”)). * (to be responsible for, in charge for, accountable to): Semantic loan from Swedish ansvara, ultimately from French (e.g. responsable).
