Etymology[edit]
PIE word |
---|
*pénkʷe |
From Middle English cink, from Middle French cinq, from Latin quīnque. The archaic spelling cinq is taken from modern French cinq, whereas the standard spelling is perhaps influenced by Italian cinque or a misspelling of the French. The pronunciation /sæŋk/ is also based on a hypercorrect approximation of the French pronunciation. Doublet of five, punch, pimp, and Pompeii.
