Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin pectin-, pecten.
Etymology: < classical Latin pectin-, pecten comb, comb used in weaving, rake, the pubic hair or region, scallop shell, plectrum for a lyre, in post-classical Latin also the bones of the hand, metacarpus (c1230–50 in Bartholomaeus Anglicus: compare quot. a1398 at sense 1a) < pectere to comb < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek πεκτεῖν to clip, shear (compare πέκειν to comb). Compare ancient Greek κτείς comb, the pubic hair or region, bivalve shellfish, scallop, in Hellenistic Greek also comb used in weaving, rake ( < an ablaut variant (zero-grade) of the same Indo-European base); some of the senses of classical Latin pecten may be after corresponding senses of the Greek word.The Latin word was earlier borrowed into Old English as pihten part of a loom.
