pic
- /pik/
Rhymes with -ik
Where it comes from
Uncertain, maybe from the root *peh₂w- (“few, small”).
Most likely from Vulgar Latin picca, from earlier *piccus, borrowed from Proto-Celtic *bikkos (“small, little”).
Eventually influenced by dissimilation by paucus (“few, little”). Compare Albanian pikë (“a drop; a bit”), Sicilian picca (“a bit, a little”), Italian piccolo (“small”), Spanish pequeño (“small”). Compare also French petit (“small”), English pinch.
