===Etymology===
{{dercat|sa|inc-pro|inh=1}}
From {{inh|sa|iir-pro|*Hánćas||share, part, portion}}, from {{inh|sa|ine-pro|*h₁ónḱos}}. Cognate with {{cog|ae|𐬄𐬯𐬀||share, part}}, {{cog|grc|ὄγκος||mass, burden}}. {{m|ine-pro|*h₁ónḱos}} may be a derivative of {{m|ine-pro|*h₁neḱ-||to carry}} or {{m|ine-pro|*h₂neḱ-||to reach}}.

The word was borrowed into Finno-Ugric from Proto-Indo-Iranian before the merger of {{cog|ine-pro|-}} */a/, */o/ and */e/ into Proto-Indo-Iranian */a/ occurred; compare {{cog|et|-}} and {{cog|fi|osa||part}} and {{cog|hu|oszt||to divide}}.
