Etymology

[edit]

Is there any basis for splitting Sense 1 off? It seems pretty straightforward: "to forage" > "to force deals that can be reneged on at any time" > "to deceive" > "to put up a show for others". The noun pic can be a backformation, unrelated to the original pica. 89.64.70.215 02:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
