Etymology

From Middle High German pieke, from Middle Dutch pike, from Old Dutch *pīk, from Proto-West Germanic *pīk. Already in Dutch the word was influenced by French pic (tip). Another influence is German Picke (pick, pickaxe), from picken. The precise relation between all of these words is uncertain.
