Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *smāg- (to strike), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *smagati, whence Polish smagać (to lash, whip). The Balto-Slavic root's further origin is uncertain,[1] but it appears to be onomatopoeic, and may be cognate with Swedish smacka (to smack (one's lips)), Dutch smak (crash, blow, smack).[2][3] It is, however, possible that the Balto-Slavic and Germanic formations were formed independently of each other.
