Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *sakŕ̥t (“once”), from Proto-Indo-European *sm̥-kr̥t- (“one time”). The first component of a compound is zero-grade of *sḗm. Cognate with Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬝 (hakərət̰, “once”), Old Persian 𐏃𐎣𐎼𐎶𐎨𐎡𐎹 (hakaramciy, “once”) (whence Persian هرگز (hargez)). Proto-Indo-European *kert- (“times”) also the source of the Sanskrit suffix कृत्वस् (kṛ́tvas, “-fold, times”) and Russian крат (krat).
