In summary

From Middle High German pieke, from Middle Dutch pike, from Old Dutch *pīk, from Proto-West Germanic *pīk. Already in Dutch the word was influenced by French pic (“tip”). Another influence is German Picke (“pick, pickaxe”), from picken. The precise relation between all of these words is uncertain.
