Etymology
French *indice* comes from the Latin noun *indicium* “indication, sign”, derived from *indicere* “to point out, to indicate”, which itself is a combination of *in-* “into, towards” and *dicere* “to speak, to say”. It entered Old French in the 12th century as *indice*, preserving the sense of a sign or hint, and has remained unchanged in spelling and meaning in modern French.
