Proto-West Germanic

Etymology

Suggested to be a calque of Ancient Greek στρατηγός (stratēgós) (from στρατός (stratós, “army”) +‎ ἄγω (ágō, “to lead”) +‎ -ος (-os)), from *hari (“army”) +‎ *togō (“leader”) (compare *teuhan (“to lead, pull”)). Alternatively inherited from Proto-Germanic *harjatugô, if Old Norse hertogi isn't borrowed from Middle Low German.
