Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle English *thikket, from Old English þiccet, from þicce (“thick”) + Old English nominal suffix -et. Compare similar German Dickicht (“thicket”), which is first attested in the 17th century, however. Compare typologically Bulgarian гъстак (găstak), Macedonian густеж (gustež), Czech houští, Polish gęstwina (< *gǫstъ); Latin dūmus (akin to Latin dense).
