Origin
As mentioned above, the word "mahach" has a genetic relationship with the word "waving". There is a version that it comes from a plain and understandable to everyone without exception, a simple Russian phraseological unit "wave your fists", which means - simply fight.
There is a more common version of this set expression, somewhat more abstract in meaning from the topic we are discussing, but also worthy of mention: "wave your fists after a fight", which means: "it is useless to talk about something after it has already happened." Often found in an edifying, didactic form: "After a fight, they don't wave their fists."
According to the dictionary of the famous etymologist M. Fasmer, the word "waving" related to "makhach" existed both in Old Slavonic ("mahati") and in Old Russian ("waving") languages. It also has its counterparts in many Slavic languages related to Russian: "mahati" in Serbo-Croatian, "machati" in Czech, and so on.
