Etymology

Possibly from Proto-West Germanic *paikijan (“to seduce, deceive”) (compare Middle Low German pêke (“mistress, whore”, pejorative swear word) and pichte, picht (“argument, dispute, manslaughter”), connected to Old Prussian paik- 'deceive' and Lithuanian pìktas 'evil', which correspond to Old English fāh (foe) and Middle High-German vêch, with Grimm's Law applied. The forms showing unshifted consonants are therefore probably loan words from another IE language, maybe an unattested one (see Nordwestblock).
