Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *adgostus, from *ad- (“to, near”) + *gostus, ultimately from a suffixed form of Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰes- (“hand”).[1] Cognate with Old Irish ocus (“near”).[2] For the second component, compare Ancient Greek χείρ (kheír), Hittite 𒆠𒌍𒊬 (“ke-eš-šar”), Tocharian A tsar, Albanian dorë and Old Armenian ձեռն (jeṙn).
