Etymology

Inherited from Old Slovak prék, priek, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *perkъ. Morphologically equivalent to пре (pre) +‎ ґу (gu). For the shift from expected -е- (-e-) to -ей- (-ej-), compare пейц (pejc) and шейсц (šejsc). Modern usage, otherwise rare across West Slavic cognates, likely influenced by Serbo-Croatian преко / preko. Cognates include Macedonian преку (preku) and Polish przek, przeko.
