Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Kroonen proposes a derivation from a northern Proto-Indo-European *ǵogʰ-on-, from a root *ǵogʰ- (‘shrub’), and adduces Lithuanian žãgaras (‘twig’), Latvian žagari (‘shrubs’) as cognates. The ultimate origin could be related to English cog, or Old English cǣġ (‘key’); see also Proto-West Germanic *kaiju (‘peg, key’).
