Etymology
1. Inherited from Middle French tache, from Old French tache, taiche, taje (“mark, spot, stain”), from Vulgar Latin *tacca, *tecca, from Gothic 𐍄𐌰𐌹𐌺𐌽𐍃 (taikns, “mark, sign”), from Proto-Germanic *taiknaz, *taikną (“sign, mark”), from Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ- (“to show”).
2. Influenced by forms related to Frankish *stakjan, *stakkijan (“to stick, attach”) and Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌺𐍃 (staks, “mark”). See attacher.
3. For levelling and shortening of diphthong ai in taikns compare Old French hanter, hangart, etc. Cognate with Old High German zeihhan (“sign, symbol, feature”), Old English tācn (“sign, marker”). More at token. See: Gothic Nouns '
𐍄𐌰𐌹𐌺𐌽𐍃', Gothic Nouns '
𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌺𐍃'.
