Old Spanish

Etymology

From Latin sūcidus (juicy; oily, greasy), from sūcus (juice, sap). According to Corominas and Pascual (vol. Ri-X 1983:324), it is always attested with -z- until the end of the 15th century; a derivation via a Latin variant succidus (as reported in some sources such as DRAE 23rd ed.[1]) is therefore spurious.[2]
