Proto-Balto-Slavic
Etymology
Related to *jḗˀgtei (“to be able”) + *-āˀ, probably akin to Ancient Greek ἥβη (hḗbē, “youth, vigour”) (from Proto-Indo-European *yegʷ- / *Hyeh₂gʷ-?). Per Nikolaev (cited by Villanueva Svensson), possibly an example of Narten acrostatic noun.[1]
Within Slavic, comparison has been drawn to Russian я́глый (jáglyj, “vigorous, energetic”) (of disputed origin).
