Etymology edit

The origin is uncertain.[1][2] Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ǵogʰ- (stake, branch, bush) and cognate with Dutch keg (wedge), Old High German kegil (cone, peg, wedge, nail) (German Kegel), Lithuanian žãgaras (dry twig), žãgrė (plowshare).[3][4][5] A by-form *ծայգ (*cayg) is reflected in post-classical ծայգեմ (caygem) and dialectal ծեգել (cegel), ծեգ (ceg).
