Proto-Germanic edit

Etymology edit

Uncertain; possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ḱk-í-s ~ *ḱk-éy-s, from *ḱek- (“to be able, capable”), whence Proto-Germanic *hagaz (“skilled, abled”), Old Irish cécht (“might”), Sanskrit शकत् (śákat, “to be able”), Younger Avestan 𐬯𐬁𐬗𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬧𐬙𐬌 (sācaiiaṇti, “to learn, understand”), Younger Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬱𐬐𐬎𐬱𐬙𐬆𐬨𐬀 (saškuštəma, “the best understanding”).^[1]

Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeḱ- (“to see, look”)^[2], or perhaps Proto-Indo-European *ḱewk- (“flare up, glow”),^[3] whence Sanskrit शुच्यति (śúcyati, “to glow, shine; to hurt”).
