Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Originally meaning “protrusion” or “wedge”. Probably cognate with Latvian bakstît (“to poke”). Outside of Balto-Slavic, has been compared with Latin baculum, Ancient Greek βάκτρον (báktron), Proto-Celtic *bakkos (“hook”), Proto-Germanic *pagjō (“peg”), presumably from Proto-Indo-European *bak-.

Kroonen considers a Germanic borrowing from Proto-West Germanic *bakō (“back”).[1] Vasmer dismisses this possibility for phonetic and semantic reasons.
