Étymologie (Anglais)

Uncertain:
* Maybe from an Old Latin *teksmō, from Proto-Indo-European *tetḱ- (“to cut, hew”). Cognates would then include Latin texō, Sanskrit तक्षति (takṣati), Avestan 𐬙𐬀𐬱𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬌 (tašaⁱti) Proto-Germanic *þahsuz, Ancient Greek τίκτω (tíktō), τέκτων (téktōn), τέχνη (tékhnē).
* Maybe from an Old Latin *tenksmō, from Proto-Indo-European *tengʰ- (“to pull”), from Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, to extend”). Cognates would then include Proto-Germanic *þinhslō (“wagon pole, thill”).
* Maybe from an Old Latin *tensmō, from Proto-Indo-European *tens- (“to stretch”), another extension of Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, to extend”).
