[ˈɸʲiːa̯kɨlʲ]

Unknown. Michael Weiss has expressed a complete lack of faith that any satisfactory etymology can be found: "No etymology worth its salt."
Discredited etymologies
* An ancient etymology derives it from Latin fīgō (“to fix”), the idea being that a tooth is a "mouth fixture"; this explanation is impossible on phonological grounds and extremely unlikely on semantic ones.
* MacBain suggests a connection with Middle Irish fec (“spade, tooth, tusk”), assuming that the latter is actually *féc; the two would then both be from Proto-Celtic *weikkā of unknown origin. This etymology is also phonetically impossible because Proto-Celtic *ei should have changed to ía before an unpalatalized consonant, so Middle Irish fec cannot have been **féc in the first place.
