To weave; also to fabricate, especially with an ax; also to make wicker or wattle fabric for (mud-covered) house walls. Oldest form *tek̑s‑, becoming *teks‑ in centum languages.

  1. text, tissue; context, pretext, from Latin texere, to weave, fabricate.
  2. Suffixed form *teks-lā‑.
    1. tiller2, toil2, from Latin tēla, web, net, warp of a fabric, also weaver's beam (to which the warp threads are tied);
    2. subtle, from Latin subtīlis, thin, fine, precise, subtle (< *sub-tēla, "thread passing under the warp," the finest thread; sub, under; see upo).
  3. Suffixed form *teks-ōn‑, weaver, maker of wattle for house walls, builder (possibly contaminated with *teks-tōr, builder) tectonic; architect, from Greek tektōn, carpenter, builder.

    1. dachshund, from Old High German dahs, badger;
    2. dassie, from Middle Dutch das, badger. Both a and b from Germanic *thahsuz, badger, possibly from this root ("the animal that builds," referring to its burrowing skill) but more likely borrowed from the same pre-Indo-European source as the Celtic totemic name *Tazgo‑ (as in Gaulish Tazgo‑, Gaelic Tadhg), originally "badger.".
[Pokorny tek̑Þ‑ 1058.]
