Etimologija (Anglų k.)

Paveldėta iš Vidurio Anglijos: sikel

Paveldėta iš senoji anglų: sicol

In summary

From Middle English sikel (also assibilated in sichel), from Old English sicol, siċel, from Proto-West Germanic *sikilu, itself borrowed from Latin sēcula (“sickle”) or sīcīlis (“sickle”). Cognate with Dutch sikkel, German Sichel. Remotely related with English scythe and saw.
