Etymology

Pic (peak) comes from the Latin *pīx*, “point, tip,” itself derived from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *peuH meaning “sharp.” The word entered Old French as *pic*, used for sharp, pointed objects and later specifically for mountain summits, and the spelling has remained unchanged in Modern French.
