Etymology
[edit]Uncertain.[1][2] Martirosyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *Hh₃es-eno-, from *Heh₃s- (“ash-tree”), whence հացի (hacʻi).[3] He explains the sense development by functional and cultural similarities: compare Old English æsċ (“ash tree; spear”), Ancient Greek κράνεια (kráneia, “cornelian cherry; spear”), Middle Armenian կռանի (kṙani, “ash tree; cornelian cherry (?)”).
