Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the semantics, lexicography and main contexts of use of the Bulgarian verb заварвам, with special attention to folklore, rituals and folk speech, on the ground of ethnolinguistic methodology. It also studies the words formed from the same root завареник, завареница (step-children), преварник (a ritual person at a wedding), etc. Synonymic vocabulary with other stems from the Bulgarian dialects (затичам, затечено дете, затичняк), including borrowings (Greek в/фтасам), and the semes that determine the convergence of the lexemes are indicated. The Balkan character of the greeting Добре дошъл – Добре заварил is shown; the ways of further research of the semantics of ‘to catch up’ in Slavic and Balkan languages are outlined
