Etymology

edit

Traditionally derived from Proto-Baltic *pek- (metathesized to *kep-), from Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ- (to roast, to cook), from earlier *h₃-ép-kʷ-, *h₃p-ékʷ-. Karulis would rather see *pekʷ- as a metathesis of PIE date of a root *kep-, *kʷep- (to smoke, to cook), formed analogically from *tep- (to be hot, to heat up) on the model of *kel-, *tel- (to build). Cognates include Lithuanian kèpti, Old Church Slavonic пещи (pešti), пекѫ (pekǫ, 1 sg. pres.), Russian печь (pečʹ), пеку́ (pekú), Belarusian пекці́ (pjekcí), Ukrainian печи́ (pečý), пекти́ (pektý), Bulgarian пека́ (peká, 1st sg. pres.), Czech péci, Polish piec, Sanskrit पचति (pácati, to roast, to bake, to cook, to boil), Ancient Greek πέσσω (péssō, to bake, to cook, to boil) (from *pekʷye-), Latin coquō (to cook, to roast, to dry), Tocharian A, Tocharian B pāk- (to cook, to boil).[1]
