Tradizionalmente il sostantivo è collegato al verbo causativo tzicoā ("incollare, far aderire"), di cui tzictli costituirebbe una nominalizzazione.[1] Altri, però, presuppongono la forma intransitiva tzicahui ("essere/divenire colloso, aderente; aderire") alla base del termine.[2] Dal momento che i verbi formati con una struttura affine a quella di tzicahui sono denominali, non è da escludere che sia proprio tzicahui a derivare da tzictli e non viceversa.
