Etymology

edit

    Back-formation from the perfect stem fīx- under the influence of such as stringō, replacing earlier fīvō, the supine stem fīx- was also later taken from the perfect stem, replacing earlier fīct-;[1] from Proto-Italic *feigʷō, from earlier *θeigʷō, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéygʷeti, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeygʷ- (“to stick, set up”).

    Cognates include English ditch, West Frisian dyk (“dam”), Dutch dijk, German Deich (“dike”) and Teich (“pond”) (all from Proto-Germanic *dīkaz), Lithuanian diegti (“to prick; plant”), dýgsti (“to geminate, grow”). Not to be confused with the probably-unrelated Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to knead, form”) (the latter whence Latin fingō (“idem”), Sanskrit देहि (dehi-, “wall”) and देह (deha, “body”)).
