Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *píkis, *píkulas, possibly borrowed from Germanic or Latin. Cognate with Old Prussian pyculs (hell) (possibly a Polish borrowing) and akin to Latvian piķis (pitch), Lithuanian pi̇̀kis (pitch) (sometimes considered Germanic borrowings); Ancient Greek πίσσα (píssa, pitch), Latin pix (pitch).

Most modern descendants reflect meaning “hell, inferno”. This is a semantic loan from cognate Old High German peh (pitch; misfortune, damnation).
