"Soviet" is derived from a Russian word signifying council, assembly, advice, harmony, concord... related to Slavic "věst" ("news"), English "wise", the root in "ad-vis-or" (which came to English through French), or the Dutch "weten" (to know; cf. "wetenschap" = science).

This is the part that I beleive is incorrect. As a native speaker these words do not share commonality, is what I’m trying to say :) not even sure how the link was made. “Vest” comes from “vedat” which is to see. They diverge quite strongly between to instruct vs to spread news.

Ahhh... ok that does seem wrong! Thanks for helping me understand.
