/ˈakə/, U.S.

/ˈækər/

Forms: 1900s– acker, 1900s– akka, 1900s– akker.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown.The word was apparently first used by British and allied troops in Egypt. It has sometimes been suggested that it represents a loan < Egyptian Arabic fakka small change, coins collectively (the sense ‘piastre’ is not attested; < fakk to change (money) into smaller units, specific use of fakk to separate, disconnect, to break up). However, this seems unlikely on phonological grounds, since it would require either that variants of the suggested Arabic etymon with initial vowel exist (which is not the case), or that the initial f- of the Arabic word was lost in English, as the difference between the Arabic and English words cannot be accounted for by metanalysis, sandhi, or other common phonological changes. An even less likely suggestion (made e.g. by E. Partridge Dict. Forces' Slang (1948) at cited word) is that the word represents an alteration of piastre n.

slang (originally Services' slang).

1. A piastre. historical in later use.
