Etymology 2

From Middle High German hahsen, from Old High German hāhsina, from Proto-West Germanic *hą̄hasinu.

Cognate with German Hachse, Haxe (“knuckle, joint”), Dutch haas (“tenderloin”). Like the latter it appears to have been associated with etymology 1, thereby becoming masculine and forming the plural with /z/ rather than /s/.
