Etymology

From Middle Low German toge, toch, from Old Saxon *tugi, from Proto-Germanic *tugiz. Cognate with Dutch teug, German Zug, Old English tyge.

Swedes would make no difference between tåg in vikingatåg (viking raid), korståg (crusade), fälttåg, krigståg, and plundringståg (pillage raid), but in Danish they use different words, indicating different etymologies:
