Etymology

Traditionally derived from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Baltic *pek- (metathesized to *kep-), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ- (“to roast, to cook”), from earlier *h₃-ép-kʷ-, *h₃p-ékʷ-. A more recent theory derives it from a putative (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ-, a parallel (metathesized) form of *kep-, *kʷep- (“to smoke, to cook”), formed from *tep- (“to be hot, to heat up”) on the model of *kel-, *tel- (“to build”).
