Slovak[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From pre- + -tekať, which is the imperfective form of tiecť used in compounds. Inherited from Proto-Slavic *teťi (“to flow, run”) from earlier *tekti, from Proto-Indo-European *tekʷ- (“to run, flow”).
The primary meaning of the word tiecť and its compounds is to flow (sense 1), but the other meaning, to run, has been preserved in some compounds (sense 2).
