Etymology: Unknown; suggested to be borrowed from Proto-Albanian *tsikā (whence Albanian thikë (“knife”)), perhaps via Illyrian. However, the long ī is problematic, and the borrowing may have in fact been the other way around. Despite matching semantics and superficially similar phonetics, not related to secō (“to cut”).
