Etymology

May be a derivative ultimately of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (“increase, grow”); one theory suggests it was a borrowing from the Tocharian A oko, with the same meaning, but it was more likely that it was taken from B into A instead, as is more often the case. Alternatively, another plausible etymology may be Proto-Indo-European *h₂ógeh₂ (“berry, fruit”) (compare Lithuanian úoga, Latvian oga, Russian я́года (jágoda), Old English æcern (English acorn)).

1. fruit
