Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

From Proto-Italic *apeks, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ep- (“to join, fit”). De Vaan approches this connection with caution since a link with apiō is through some meanings feasible in addition to the observation that most ex, -icis are technical terms without Indo-European origin.
