From Proto-Italic *pīngwis, from Proto-Indo-European *peyH- (“fat”), maybe contaminated by *bʰenǵʰ- (“fat, thick”). Cognate with German feist (“fat, plump, obese”). Related also to Dutch vet (“fat”), German fett (“fat, corpulent”), English fat, Icelandic feitur (“fat”). See also pix (“pitch, tar, resin”).
