Proto-Germanic

Unknown, though probably related to Proto-West Germanic *hōkīn (kid). For a semantic parallel from a potentially-related set of lemmas, compare Proto-Slavic *koža (skin, leather), from Proto-Slavic *koza (goat).[1]

Alternatively, derived from *hakô (hook) + *-ulaz (diminutive suffix), thus "a coat buttoned with clasps".[2]
