Etymology
1. Possibly from a family of words represented by Proto-Germanic *agaz (“fear, dread”), and thus related to aga (“to threaten”), ógn (“fear”). Others have supposed a connection to Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”), though this is phonetically dubious.
2. The derivative uggligr was borrowed into English as ugly.
