Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *teksō, perhaps from either Proto-Indo-European *tḗtḱ-ti or *teḱ-se-ti, both from *teḱ- (“to beget, produce”).[1] Compare Ancient Greek τίκτω (tíktō), Hittite 𒈭𒆠𒅖𒍣 (tákkišzi, “to arrange, prepare”), Sanskrit ताष्टि (tā́ṣṭi), Middle High German dehsen (“to break flax”), Old High German tāht (“wick”). On the basis of Old Armenian թեքեմ (tʻekʻem, “to bend; to fashion, forge”), the root has alternatively been reconstructed as *tek- (“to weave, fashion”).[2]
