Etymology edit
From the root ع ك س (ʕ-k-s) related to opposing things because one leans “against” it. The same sound change in the same pattern in the semantic field of wearables is present in قُفَّاز (quffāz, “glove”). Additionally, عَكَصَ (ʕakaṣa, “to repell, to push back”) and عَقَصَ (ʕaqaṣa, “to plait, to tie together”), عَقِصَ (ʕaqiṣa, “to be niggardly in disposition, to be finnicky about one’s amassed wealth”), عَكَشَ (ʕakaša, “to amass”) are all related.
