Etymology of term "Vig", or "Vigorish"? [closed]

So I always presumed the term "vig" or "vigorish" (meaning, at least how I perceive the meaning, a bookie or loan shark's "take", or reward, for facilitating a deal of some sort) to have a Yiddish origin; maybe just because of the way the word sounds.

I came across a Russian person on another Stack Exchange site whose name was "вы́игрыш", which has a meaning akin to the English word and idea of "prize". вы́игрыш is pronounced "Viglesh". Could our slang term be derived from the Russian word for "prize"?

Solution 1:

OED: updated (OED Third Edition, December 2019).

Vig - Vigorish:

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. A borrowing from Russian. Probably also partly a borrowing from Yiddish. Etymon: Russian vyigryš.

Etymology: < Russian vyigryš gain, winnings (18th cent. or earlier; < vyigrat′ to gain, to win (a prefixed derivative < igra game) + -yš, suffix forming nouns), probably via an (apparently unattested) Yiddish borrowing from the Russian noun.

The β. forms show remodelling of the ending after -age suffix.
