Proto-Celtic
editEtymology
editFrom *dī- (privative prefix) + *ākus (“swift, speedy”) (whence also Welsh awg and Latin Ācus, a rendering of a Gaulish name), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *HéHḱus (“swift, quick”).
Further Indo-European cognates of the root include Latin ōcior, Ancient Greek ὠκύς (ōkús), and Sanskrit आशु (āśu).[1][2]
