Etymology

From Old Georgian ზეგ (zeg), possibly borrowed from post-Classical Old Armenian *զէգ (*zēg), from զ- (z-, to) +‎ *էգ (*ēg), a later form of այգ (ayg, morning); compare Old Armenian զ-այգ-ոյ (z-ayg-oy, till tomorrow), dialectal Armenian էգ-ուց (ēg-ucʻ, tomorrow).[1][2][3] Note that Classical Old Armenian -այ- (-ay-) regularly develops into -է- (-ē-) before consonants in Middle Armenian and the Eastern dialects, a process whose start is sporadically attested already in Old Armenian.

Alternatively, from ზე (ze, on) +‎ დღჱ (dɣē, day).[4]
