Where this word comes from

Apparently an abstract noun built on pectō (“to comb”), although the formation is unusual: most comparable nouns are formed with the suffix -tiō (or equivalently, are built on the supine stem of the verb), which would yield *pexiō. If genuine, the word might be formed with the less common abstract noun suffix -iō; alternatively, as noted below, "pectione" could be a corruption of the original text.
