köken: Borrowed from Proto-Norse [Term?], from Proto-Germanic *angazaz (compare English anger, Swedish ånger). Cognate with Karelian ankara.
Inherited from Old Ruthenian жесткий (žestkij), from Old East Slavic *жестъкъ (*žestŭkŭ), from Proto-Slavic *žestъkъ. The epenthetic 'r' might have arisen under the influence of шорстки́й (šorstkýj, “rough, rigid”), compare dialectal жестки́й (žestkýj). Cognate with Belarusian жо́рсткі (žórstki) and Russian жёсткий (žóstkij).
