Etymology[edit]

Duden says the etymology is unsettled. Some etymologists, including Pfeifer and Wahrig, trace it back to English pace, but this association may be secondary. A relation with Dutch pezen (to work hard; to run quickly) is probable. This Dutch verb was attested as early as 1632 and is related to pees (sinew).
