Where this word comes from
Assuming ĭcō with short i is original, possibly from the zero grade of Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyḱ- (“to stab, prick, sting”), of which this Latin word might be the only known verbal reflex; tentatively compare Ancient Greek αἰχμή (aikhmḗ, “point of a spear”), ἴξ (íx, “kind of worm”), Proto-Germanic *aigin (“shoot; barb”), dialectal Swedish egel (“seed sprout”) and Lithuanian iēšmas (“spit, broach”).
