Etymology

Ultimately a derivative of Proto-Iranian *gauz- (“to hide, conceal”), compare Sanskrit गूहति (gūhati). Possibly influenced by Northeastern Iranian, compare Sogdian [script needed] (ʾʾγʾwδ /⁠āγōδ⁠/, “cover, shelter, barn”).

Alternatively, borrowed from a Turkic source: cognate with Ottoman Turkish آغل above
