• KITAS (used by Indonesian Immigration)

Related to keĩsti (“to change”),^[1] with the origin of the words somewhat disputed:

• Derived from Proto-Indo-European *kʷís (“who, what”) + tàs (“that (determiner)”).^[2]
• Alternatively, from a Baltic root *kit-, probably from a t-extension of Proto-Indo-European *kʷey- (“to accomplish, to estimate”).

Cognate with Latvian cits; compare also Proto-Slavic *čьto (“what (interrogative)”), akin to Proto-Slavic *čьto (“why, which”), *čьtati (“to estimate, to inquire why”).
