Meaning:
1. Hearth Goddess: In Roman mythology, Vesta was the goddess of the hearth, home, and family.
2. Hearth or Fire: By extension, Vesta came to mean the hearth itself or the sacred fire kept burning on the hearth.
Origin:
The origin of the name Vesta is likely related to its Proto-Indo-European root *h₂wes-ti-, which means "hearth, fire." This root is also found in other Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit (vasti) and Greek (hestia).
Over time, the Proto-Indo-European word *h₂wes-ti- evolved into the Latin word Vesta through regular sound changes. In Latin, the word was primarily used to refer to the goddess of the hearth, but it also retained its original meaning of "hearth" or "fire."
