Word: ого́нь,
Near etymology: род. п. огня́, укр. ого́нь, род. п. огню́, др.-русск. огнь, ст.-слав. огнь πῦρ (Зогр., Супр.; см. Ван-Вейк, ZfslPh 9, 99; Дильс, Aksl. Gr. 129, 161 и сл.), болг. о́гън, сербохорв. о̀гањ, о̀гња, словен. ògǝnj, чеш. оhеň, род. п. ohně, слвц. оhеň, польск. ogień, в.-луж. woheń, н.-луж. hogeń.
Further etymology: Происходит из *ognis, родственного лит. ugnìs, род. п. ugniẽs, вост.-лит. ùgnis, лтш. uguns (u- -- результат редукции о-, судя по лит. agnùs "огненный"), др.-инд. agníṣ м. "огонь", хетт. agniš, лат. ignis из *egnis; см. Траутман, ВSW 334 и сл.; Фортунатов, KZ 36, 35; Шпехт 19; Френкель, ВSрr. 35, 40; М.--Э. 4, 295; один случай -- др.-лит. ungnis -- описка вместо ugnis; см. Траутман, там же; Буга у Преобр. I, 638. Праформа *ṇgnis, которая еще и сейчас пользуется популярностью, невероятна ни со слав., ни с италийск. точки зрения (см. Вальде--Гофм. 1, 676). Она представлена у Соссюра (МSL 7, 93), Мейе (МSL 8, 236, 315), Педерсена (KZ 38, 395), Сольмсена (Unters. gr. Lautl. 218), Младенова (94), Гуйера (LF 66, 459), которые сближают ого́нь с др.-инд. áŋgāras "уголь", русск. у́голь (см.). Невероятно сравнение *ognь с лит. ùnkstu, ùnkti "стонать, скулить", лат. uncō, -ārе -- о крике медведя, слав. *jęčati (см. яча́ть), вопреки Лер-Сплавинскому (Мélanges Belić 415 и сл.). Смелые сравнения с лат. egula "вид серы" и под. имеются у Лёвенталя (WuS 11, 54). Недостоверно родство с сербохорв. ви̏гањ "кузница", чеш. výheň "кузнечный горн" (см. Траутман, там же); см. против Эндзелин, Lett. Gr. VII; Ильинский, РФВ 74, 133.

Eskimo etymology :

Proto-Eskimo: *ǝknǝ-
Meaning: fire
Russian meaning: огонь
Comments: The stem looks like a derivative (deverbal noun) from *ǝkǝ(-) 'to burn', but a regular nominal affix must have had preserved a regular uvular consonant in the auslaut position. As is evidenced by Naukan and Inupik data, the uvular, on the contrary, is actually "dropped". We can therefore suggest a secondary reinterpretation of the root as a former derivative with the suffix -nǝʁ. Comparative Eskimo Dictionary: 101
