Etymology 1

Ačaṙean derives from ց- (cʿ-, “until”) +‎ անկանիմ (ankanim, “to fall”) and explains the sense development as ‘to fall’ → ‘to end’ → ‘boundary’ → ‘hedge’, typologically comparing Latin cado (“to fall; to end”).[1][2] In this case, identical with ցանկ (cʿank, “always”).

Olsen derives from ց- (cʿ-) +‎ nasalized non-palatal variant of Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ- (“to attach”).[3]

Scheftelowitz connected with Sanskrit शङ्कु m (śaṅkú-, “pointed peg”), Old Church Slavonic сѫкъ (sǫkŭ, “branch”).[4]

Martirosyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *s-kagʰ-no-, from *kagʰ-.[5] In this case, ցանգ (cʿang) is the oldest form.
