ագանիմ

From Proto-Indo-European *h₃ew-e/o-, from *h₃ew- (“to put on (shoes, clothes)”), +‎ -ան- (-an-). The initial հ- (h-), found in the later form հագանիմ (haganim) and dialectal հագնել (hagnel), may have an etymological value. Cognates include Latin ex-uō (“undress, take off”), ind-uō (“put on, clothe”), Avestan 𐬀𐬊𐬚𐬭𐬀 (aoθra, “shoe”), Lithuanian aũti (“to take off shoes”), Russian обу́ть (obútʹ). See also առագաստ (aṙagast), օդ (ōd), օթոց (ōtʻocʻ).
