Etymology

Cognate with Middle High German: egede

Cognate with Old High German: egida

Cognate with Dutch: eg

In summary

Derived in early modern German from the verb eggen, possibly under influence of ecke, also egge (“corner; sharp edge; blade”), whence contemporary Ecke (“corner”). The older Middle High German egede from Old High German egida is only continued dialectally (early modern German eide). The same development in Dutch eg. Cognate to Latin occa, Latin occō (whence Portuguese oco, Spanish hueco).
