Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain; possibly from *hagaz (skilled, crafty) +‎ *tusjō (witch, demon) (whence Norwegian tysja (witch, demon)), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *dʰus-yéh₂, from *dʰews- (breath; spirit) (whence *deuzą (animal, beast)).[1] However, this devoicing is phonetically irregular. The second part is more likely from Proto-Indo-European *dus- (bad, evil).

Noun

*hagatusjō f[1]
