Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *hagustaldaz (“unmarried man”, literally “set at the hedge”), a compound of Proto-Germanic *hagą, *hagaz, *hagô (“fence, enclosure, hedge”), from Proto-Indo-European *kagʷh- (“fence, box”) + a derivative of Proto-Germanic *stal- (“to place, set”), from Proto-Indo-European *stelə- (“stem, trunk, base”). Equivalent to haw + *stold. Cognate with Old Saxon hagastald (“servant, young man”), Old High German hagastalt, hagastolt (“mercenary, unwed person”), Proto-Norse (hagustaldaʀ).

From Proto-Germanic *hagastaldą (“celibacy, virginity”) (see above).
