Etymology

Borrowed from Middle Low German spek, from Proto-Germanic *spiką, cognate with German Speck (“bacon”), English speck (“fat”), Old Norse spik. The geminate consonant of Danish spæk(k-), Norwegian spekk and Swedish späck points to a Low German origin (the Old Norse form would have resulted in Danish *speg). See: German Nouns 'Speck', English Nouns 'speck', Old Norse Nouns 'spik', Swedish Nouns 'späck'.
