Etymology
From χοα- (xoa- /xwa-/, “own, self-”) + *καμo (*kamo /*kām/, “wish, will”).[1] The latter word is from Proto-Iranian *káHmah (“wish, desire”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *káHmas (“wish, desire”), from Proto-Indo-European *kóh₂-mo-s, from *keh₂- (“to desire, wish”) + *-mos (deverbal noun suffix). Compare Avestan 𐬐𐬁𐬨𐬀 (kāma, “desire”), Old Persian 𐎣𐎠𐎶 (k-a-m /kāma/, “wish, desire”). Cognate of Sanskrit काम (kāma, “wish, desire, love, pleasure”).
