Proto-Slavic
Etymology 1
Uncertain. Sparsely attested, mainly in toponyms and derived terms.
If the color association is derived from the name of the jay, jackdow bird (and not vice versa), it is possible that the root is of onomatopoeic nature, related to *gavati (“to bark”), *gajati (“to croak”), *gakati (“to caw”). Compare regional *gaga (“jay”).
