Etymology
1. Unknown. Some scholars derive this word from Mexican Spanish jacal, from Nahuatl xacalli (“adobe hut”).
2. Alternatively, the word may instead come from ramshackle/ramshackly (e.g., old ramshackly house) or perhaps it may be a back-formation from shackly.
3. Compare Tavringer Romani hak (“place, house”), Traveller Norwegian hak (“place”).
