Word Origin & History
shako
cylindrical soldier's hat with plume, 1815, from Hungarian csákó, short for csákós süveg "peaked cap," from adj. form of csáko "peak, projecting point of a cow's horn," which some European etymologists derive from Ger. zacken "point, spike," but which Hungarian
sources regard as of unknown origin.
