ზეგ

Georgian

Etymology

From Old Georgian ზეგ (zeg), possibly borrowed from post-Classical Old Armenian *զէգ (*zēg), from զ- (z-, “to”) +‎ *էգ (*ēg), a later form of այգ (ayg, “morning”); compare Old Armenian զ-այգ-ոյ (z-ayg-oy, “till tomorrow”), dialectal Armenian էգ-ուց (ēg-ucʻ, “tomorrow”).^[1]^[2]^[3] Note that Classical Old Armenian -այ- (-ay-) regularly develops into -է- (-ē-) before consonants in Middle Armenian and the Eastern dialects, a process whose start is sporadically attested already in Old Armenian.

Alternatively, from ზე (ze, “on”) +‎ დღჱ (dɣē, “day”).^[4]
