Etymology

Unknown, maybe substrate. Compare perhaps Proto-Slavic *ęčьmy (“barley”). Beekes rejects a connection to Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp, pointed”) (cf. in particular Latin acus (“bran; awn”), Gothic 𐌰𐌷𐌰𐌽𐌰 (ahana, “awn; chaff”), Proto-West Germanic *agil (“awn”)), suggesting instead a foreign origin. See also ᾰ̓́χῡρον (ắkhūron, “chaff; bran; debris; slag”), traditionally linked to the above but thought by Beekes to be Pre-Greek. See: Latin Nouns 'acus', Gothic Nouns '𐌰𐌷𐌰𐌽𐌰'.
