As a hint, it's made of 4 morphemes.
Is it saar-veam-fyt-s?
close but no cigar. The boundary between the first pair of morphemes is off, along with the boundary between the other pair

How was I supposed to know what direction to head in to get closer? [:P]

Anyway, is it saarv-eamf-yt-s?

The middle hyphen was right the first time. That's the only thing right so far. You're warmer than your second try, but colder than your first.

Hmm… So it's at least saarveam-fyts? Are there two morphemes of each side of the hyphen, or are there three on one side?

I guess it is at least saarv-eam-fyts, but I can't help but not find two more morphemes in -fyts except what shimo had in his first guess, -fyt-s.

saarv could come from *sarwą then.

[cross]

The word has lost a few consonants since PG, making the third morpheme small (since it essentially lost an entire syllable!).

You're the closest, but you're still not on the dot.

It's not 100% right, but that won't matter in the context of the word. It's just a single sound change of difference.
