Etymology: Etymology tree Old High German backo Middle High German backe German Backe From Middle High German backe, from Old High German backo. Further origin uncertain; note, however, the similarity to Ancient Greek φᾰγεῖν (phăgeîn, “eat”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂g- (“to divide, distribute”) (though the same non-trivial semantic shift occurring in two independent branches is unlikely), as well as Latin bucca.

Etymology: From Early New High German backe, possibly related to Etymology 1. Compare typologically Russian я́годица (jágodica, “buttock”), Serbo-Croatian jагодица (“cheekbone”) (< Proto-Slavic *agodica (“cheek”)). However, perhaps more likely related to Proto-West Germanic *bak (“back (of the body)”), Bache, and Bank, and converged onto the same spelling and pronunciation as that of Etymology 1.
