Etymology of SPECKS

The word "specks" originated from the Middle English word "spekke", which was derived from the Old English word "specca". Both "spekke" and "specca" referred to a small spot or mark. These Old English roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "spekkōną", meaning "dot" or "speck". Ultimately, this Proto-Germanic term is thought to have originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "*speḱ-", which means "sharp" or "pointed". This root also gave rise to words like "speak", "spy", and "spear". Over time, "specke" evolved into "specks", and it has remained in usage to refer to small, visible particles or spots.
