anche
Borrowed from Old High German ancha (“leg, shin”), influenced by regional anche (“faucet”), ultimately related to Proto-Germanic *ankijǭ (“joint, limb”). Related to hanche (“hip”).
anche f (plural anches)
- (music) reed
- (obsolete) a chute by which flour falls from the mill to the bin
- (Lorraine, dated) faucet
- “anche”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012.
- anco (archaic or Tuscan)
Assuming that anco represents the original form, likely a rebracketing of ancora as anc'ora.[1][2] A borrowing from Old Occitan ancui (“on this day”) has also been suggested,[3] but this would explain neither the stress position of anche, nor the lack of a final -ui (an acceptable ending in Italian; cf. lui).
