Etymologia (Angielski)

Dziedziczone z średnio-wysoko-niemiecki: genicke

Pokrewny z niderlandzki: nek

Pokrewny z angielski: neck

Pokrewny z Hunsrik: Gnick

In summary

From Middle High German genicke, collective of nac, nacke (whence modern Nacken). The -i- can be explained from underlying *genecke through influence of nicken (“to nod”). Alternatively, Middle High German genicke could be derived from the e-variant in Dutch nek, English neck (which is not attested in High German, however). Cognate with Hunsrik Gnick.
