Etymology

Proto-Indo-European *ḱek-
Sanskrit शक् (śak)
Inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan *śak-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćak-, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱek- (“to be able”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬐- (sak-, “to agree”), Proto-Germanic *hagaz (“capable”), perhaps whence English hex (“to cast a spell”) and hag (“witch-like woman”), and Old Irish cécht (“might, power”).
