Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₃engʷ- (“to anoint”). Cognates include Latin ung(u)ō (“I anoint”), Old Armenian օծ (ōc, “chrism”) and Old High German ancho (“butter”).[1]

The meaning of the root in the Rigveda has also been suggested to be "to cause to appear, reveal, make bright",[2] presumably with a different etymology.
