In summary

From Middle High German hāke, from Old High German hāggo, hācko, hāko, from Proto-West Germanic *hākō, from Proto-Germanic *hēkô (see *hakô), from Proto-Indo-European *keg-, *keng- (“peg; hook”). Cognate with Old English hǣca (“hook, bolt”). One of the rare words with a long vowel followed by an original geminate, which was later simplified. Cognate with Dutch haak.
