Noun

Forms: Pickels [genitive], Pickel [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Middle Low German pickel, a sub-form of Pökel (“brine for curing”). The ultimate origin is uncertain: perhaps related to the verb picken, from Old Saxon *pikkōn, from Proto-West Germanic *pikkōn (“to strike”), with influence or intermediary borrowing from French piquer (“to sting, prick”).
