Borrowed from Vulgar Latin *tacca, *tecca, of Germanic origin, from Gothic 𐍄𐌰𐌹𐌺𐌽𐍃 (taikns, “mark, sign”), from Proto-Germanic *taiknaz, *taikniz (“sign, mark”), from Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ-. Influenced by forms related to Frankish *stakjan, *stakkjan and Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌺𐍃 (staks, “mark”). See attacher. Cognate with Old High German zeihhan (“sign, symbol, feature”), Old English tācn (“sign, marker”). More at token.
