Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *ǫzъkъ, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énǵʰus. Cognates include Armenian անձուկ (anjuk, “narrow”), German eng (“narrow”), Irish cúng (“narrow”), Latin angustus (“narrow”), Sanskrit अंहु (aṃhu, “narrow”). Sense 3 was popularised by a parody of Shaman's music video "Ya Russkiy" ("I am a Russian") as a pun on "ру́сский" ("a Russian").
