Latin

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

    Back-formed from the perfect fīxī, replacing earlier fīvō, from Proto-Italic *feigʷō (with fīxus for fictus after fīxī), from earlier *θeigʷō, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéygʷeti, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeygʷ- (to stick, set up).

    Cognates include English ditch, West Frisian dyk (dam), Dutch dijk, German Deich (dike) and Teich (pond) (all from Proto-Germanic *dīkaz), Lithuanian diegti (to prick; plant), dýgsti (to geminate, grow). Not to be confused with the probably-unrelated Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (to knead, form) (the latter whence Latin fingō (idem), Sanskrit देहि (dehi-, wall) and देह (deha, body)).
