köken: Probably via metathesis from ajaa (“to drive, pursue”) + -e (*ajeh), "that which spurs or drives on" > "reason". May also be inspired by aie. Another theory proposes a borrowing from an earlier (Pre-Germanic) form of Proto-Germanic *aiz (“copper, bronze”) (like *ajes- → *aješ > *ajeh), but the semantics and distribution make this questionable.
köken: Probably from Proto-Uralic *kaća (“young unmarried man”). Originally meant "young", the sense of "main protagonist" developed during the Hungarian language reform taking place in the 18th-19th centuries. Cognates include Northern Mansi хӯсь (hūsʹ, “servant, jack”).
