Etymology 2

From Aramaic שָׁקָא (šāqā, “shin”), ultimately from Akkadian 𒆸 (sâqu, “to be narrow, skinny, or constricted”), cognate to native Arabic ضَيِّق (ḍayyiq, “narrow, pressed”); compare Classical Syriac ܫܩܐ (šāqā, “shin”), Hebrew שׁוֹק (shok, “shin”). Connected back to the root س و ق (s-w-q) by the urging on of animals with one's legs when riding or by driving them forward by tapping at their legs.
