Etymology

[edit]

From the root *էջ- (*ēǰ-, to come/go down, descend; to stay overnight; to calm down), probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁e/oy-gʰ-, +‎ -ան- (-an-). Cognate with Ancient Greek οἴχομαι (oíkhomai, to go (away), leave, disappear), οἰχνέω (oikhnéō, to go, come, walk, approach), Lithuanian eigà (course), Old Irish oegi (guest). Armenian demonstrates a semantic shift ‘to go’ → ‘to go down’.
