Etymologia (Angielski)

First attested as kackerlack towards the end of the 16th century as a derogatory term for a chatterbox or sycophant, deriving from kakker, a contemptuous term derived from kakken (“to shit, defecate”), and lakker (“talker, freeloader”), from likken (“to lick”).
This word was subsequently conflated (from the mid-17th century onwards) with an unrelated early Portuguese form cacalacca designating the insect. The Portuguese word has in turn been argued to be derived from a Caribbean word, from which Spanish cucaracha and hence English cockroach also originate. However, a more likely theory is that the Portuguese learned that name from the people in the then Dahomey. In Fon, kakalaka means cockroaches.
