editEtymology
editUsually derived from Proto-Baltic *žangō (from Latvian *zuoguo, from the present tense form zogu), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰongʰ- (“dirty”). The semantic evolution was presumably from “to make dirty, to defile” to “to defile by stealing” to “to steal”. Cognates include Lithuanian žàgti, present form: žagiù (“to make dirty, to steal”), present form: žangù (“to eat something forbidden, to steal”); from the adjectival form *ǵʰogʰos (“dirty”), also Sanskrit जघन (jaghana, “buttocks; shame”), Ancient Greek κοχώνη (kokhṓnē, “crotch”). A more recent hypothesis relates zagt to Lithuanian žeñgti (“to walk, to go”), iterative form žangýti; the present tense form žangaũ would then correspond to Latvian zogu. This hypothesis would presumably explain better the meaning of Latvian reflexive form zagties (“to sneak, to go without being noticed”) (compare to Russian красть (krastʹ, “to steal”) и красться (krastʹsja, “to walk, to go without being noticed”)).[1]
