Adjectival formation related to vega (“to weigh”).[1] Note the semantic shift from "weigh" > "weigh little" > "mild, lenient", which is in contrast to most of the word's relatives across Indo-European, which tend to develop connotations of heaviness (such as English weighty). Despite this, some derivatives retain a "heavy" sense, such as mikilvægur.
