Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *ḱak- (branch, stick) (whence also sakne (q.v.)) from Proto-Indo-European *kek- / *ḱek- / *kekʰ- / *ḱekʰ-. Cognate with Lithuanian šaka (branch). Semantic development: branch > parting place of two branches > the two beams around a horse's neck. Along with šak- > sak-, there is cak-/čak-, cf. čaka (a stick with an offshoot to use as its handle) whence čakarēt.[1] See Russian соха (soxa) for additional cognates.
