Etymology

First attested in 1908. Borrowed from Italian spiccare, possibly reinforced and perceived as a derivate of pikë (“point”). The variant spikoj, with the expected suffix equivalent to Italian -are, is attested dialectally, while -at is usually reserved for Slavic loans. The form shpik (“to detach”) is likely unrelated.
