The consensus position
Mainstream comparative linguistics derives ἀγοράζω as a denominative in -άζω from ἀγορά 'assembly, marketplace', itself connected to ἀγείρω 'to gather', from a Proto-Indo-European root usually written *ger- or *h₂ger- 'to gather'. No relationship to Shona or any Bantu language is recognised; Bantu and Indo-European are held to be unrelated families.
