Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain, maybe from the root *peh₂w- (few, small).

Most likely from Vulgar Latin picca, from earlier *piccus, borrowed from Proto-Celtic *bikkos (small, little). Eventually influenced by dissimilation by paucus (few, little). Compare Albanian pikë (a drop; a bit), Sicilian picca (a bit, a little), Italian piccolo (small), Spanish pequeño (small). Compare also French petit (small), English pinch.
