Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *peyḱ- Proto-Indo-European *-né- Proto-Indo-European *-ti Proto-Indo-European *pinéḱti Proto-Italic *pingō Latin pingō From Proto-Italic *pingō, from Proto-Indo-European *pi-né-ḱ-ti ~ *pi-n-ḱé-nti, nasal infix present of the root *peyḱ- (“to mark, paint; to spot, color”), possibly via intermediate *pink- plus voicing assimilation. Cognate with Ancient Greek ποικίλος (poikílos, “spotted, embroidered”), Proto-Slavic *pьstrъ (“multicolored, variegated”, e.g. Czech pestrý). Pokorny also links to the root: Ancient Greek πικρός (pikrós, “sharp, keen”), Proto-Slavic *pьsati (“paint, write”, see Czech psát, Russian пятно́ (pjatnó), писать (pisatʹ) etc.), Proto-Germanic *faihaz (“spotted”, whence Old English fāh and Scots faw). Compare also Sanskrit पिङ्क्ते (piṅkte, “to paint, tinge, dye”).
