Etymology

Uncertain. Maziulis points at West-Baltic feminine adjective *agla-, which he splits up into Proto-Baltic root *ag- (“compel, force”) (instead of expected *aś-; cf.) and stem *-la-.[1] Smoczyński supports this theory, bringing up Lithuanian agnùs (“vigorous”) as a possible cognate.[2] Pokorny suggests Proto-Indo-European *agʰl(u)- “rainy weather”, from earlier *h₂eǵ-Hel- of the same meaning (hence Ancient Greek ἀχλύς (akhlús, “darkness, fog”).[3]

Noun
