Etimologie (Engels)

From Proto-Italic *pīnos, of disputed origin, with multiple theories proposed:
* From the same origin as Ancient Greek πῐ́νᾰξ (pĭ́năx, “wooden board, plank”).
* From the same origin as Ancient Greek πίτῠς (pítŭs, “pine tree”) and Albanian pishë (“id”), which is generally reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *pī́ts.
* Related to pix (“pitch, tar”), itself generally considered of the same origin as the second etymology above.
See also Sanskrit पितु (pitu, “sap, juice, resin”).
