Old Armenian

Etymology 1

Ačaṙean derives from ց- (cʻ-, until) +‎ անկանիմ (ankanim, to fall) and explains the sense development as ‘to fall’ → ‘to end’ → ‘boundary’ → ‘hedge’, typologically comparing Latin cado (to fall; to end).[1][2] In this case, identical with ցանկ (cʻank, always).

Olsen derives from ց- (cʻ-) +‎ nasalized non-palatal variant of Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ- (to attach).[3]

Scheftelowitz connected with Sanskrit शङ्कु m (śaṅkú-, pointed peg), Old Church Slavonic сѫкъ (sǫkŭ, branch).[4]

Martirosyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European *s-kagʰ-no-, from *kagʰ-.[5] In this case, ցանգ (cʻang) is the oldest form.
