Etymology
From, from (compare 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬), probably derived from , , of  origin. Likely an enlargement of, , from , from , related to 🇨🇬. The initial syllable is obscure. It may represent to express the idea of "lamenting or yowling like cats" (compare, ).

An alternative theory is that it came from a metaphorical use of 🇨🇬,, with the connection of roughness, though some dictionaries consider this to be a separate word derived from , from. The alteration of initial s to ch is likely due to influence from chagrin meaning "sorrow".
