    • 2004 June 8, “On the Tik-Tik express”, in SABC News‎[1], archived from the original on 2 June 2006:
      This Tuesday Special Assignment focuses on a deepening crisis in Cape Town. Many young adults and schoolchildren as young as 10 years are in the grip of a powerful drug called crystal methamphetamine – known locally as tik. It’s been on the fringes for several years but it is now catching on fast among the youth of the Western Cape.
    • 2006 May 13, Weekend Argus, page 12:
      Over a third of all people seeking rehabilitation in the second half of 2005 reported that their primary problem was tik.
    • 2020 October 10, Mike Simpson, “More seizures of drug consignments on long-distance buses”, in The South African‎[2]:
      Hardly a week goes by without news of a crime bust of some kind involving one of the buses travelling cross-country, with everything from mandrax to tik, marijuana and abalone finding its way on board.

Etymology 1

edit

Traditionally considered a shortening of ti̇́ek (“so much”) or tiektai̇̃ (“not only”), though the phonological processes involved are unclear.[1]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “What is tiek's further etymology? Smoczynski doesn't trace it back to Proto-Indo-European; looks a bit like a combination of Proto-Balto-Slavic *tas (“that”) + *ki (“what”), or perhaps it's derived from some other grammatical-type words.”
