Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1135] *u̯eḱ- `will want'

Etymology: Uncertain. Best with Buttmann Lexilogus 1, 141 as *Ϝέκᾱλος (= γέκαλον ἥσυχον H.; on the digamma also Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 129f.) to *Ϝέκᾰ in ἑκά-εργος (s. v.) a. o. with suffixal -ᾱλος, - ηλος (Chantr. Form. 241f., Schwyzer 484), so prop. "at will". εὔκηλος just after the many compounds with εὑ-; after it δύσκηλος, s. v. - The semantically attractive connection with Skt. úc-yati `find pleasure, be used to', ókas- n. `usual stay, house' etc. (Persson Studien 7) does not explain the form ἕκηλος. - Wrong Bechtel Lex. s. v. - Fraenkel Lexis 3, 64ff. thinks ἕκηλος and εὔκηλος are two different words.
