verbStrong class 6to suffer a persistent or recurring pain; to acheOf uncertain Proto-Indo-European origin. Kroonen 2013: 18 separates this West Germanic verb from the homonym meaning ‘to drive or travel in a vehicle; by extension, to sail or navigate’ and derives it from a distinct PIE formation *h₂/₃éǵ-e/o-, connecting it with Sanskrit आजि, Avestan 𐬁𐬰𐬌, and Persian آز. The semantic development would have proceeded through notions such as ‘strife, agitation, distress’. Orel 2003: 11, Seebold 1970: 75, and Hansen 2014: 83 instead identify it with the homonym, comparing the semantic development of Latin agitō. Related to *akiz.
