[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Celtic *īkkā, a variant or derivative of *yekkā (from which come Welsh iach, Breton yac'h, and Cornish yagh (“healthy”) as well as Gaulish Iaccus). The Proto-Celtic word is of uncertain origin; a connection with Ancient Greek ἄκος (ákos, “cure, medicine”) and Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀐𐀴𐀪𐀊𐀂 (a-ke-ti-ri-ja-i), 𐀊𐀐𐀳𐀩 (ja-ke-te-re, “healers”) is possible but phonologically difficult.
