Etymology[edit]
From Old Danish fikæ, Old Norse fíkja, ultimately from Latin fīcus (“fig fruit, fig tree”).
The German dialects have forms with -g-: Middle Low German vīge, German Feige, probably from Old French figue (whence also English fig. The Scandinavian form with -k- (cf. also Swedish fikon and Norwegian Bokmål fiken) may have come over Old English fīc. In Danish -k- becomes -g- regularly between vowels.
