Etymology

[edit]

Unclear. Perhaps ultimately from Latin transcendo, with suffix switching. Maybe ultimately Proto-Germanic *reukaną (to give off smoke), or derived from feder with a change of f to c that isn't unheard of (compare cinchu, from finchu), given some alternative forms that may still preserve the f, otherwise the f could have appeared in the same phonological process from a primary c.
