picture: [15] Picture and paint are very closely related. The Latin verb pingere ‘paint’ was the source of English paint, and its past participial stem pict- produced a noun, pictūra ‘painting’, which was eventually to become English picture. The same source produced English depict [17] and Pict [OE] (etymologically the ‘painted’ or ‘tattooed’ people), while its ultimate ancestor, the Indo-European base *pik-, *pig- ‘cut’, also evolved Latin pigmentum ‘colouring substance’, from which English got pigment [14] and, via Spanish, pimento [17].
