Étymologie

Inherited from Middle French agace, from Old French agace (“magpie”), from Frankish *agattjā or Old High German agaza (“magpie”), ultimately perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp, pointed”). Compare Walloon agaesse, Occitan agaça, gacha, Italian gazza, and possibly Catalan garsa.
