Per Trubachev and Anikin (although Vasmer expressed skepticism) from Proto-Slavic *gajьka (something that connects; something that prohibits), derived from Proto-Slavic *gajiti (to protect).[1]

Attested since 17th century.

Cognates include Serbo-Croatian gȃjka (movable ring; nut), dialectal Czech hajka (straw landmark on a pole as a sign prohibiting road use), Ukrainian га́їти (hájity, to slow down; to linger), Czech hájiti (to protect, care), Slovak hájit’ (to protect, stand up for).
