Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro The noun is derived from Middle English eke (addition, increase, enlargement), from Old English ēaca, from Proto-Germanic *aukô, from *aukaną (to increase, add, enlarge), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (to enlarge, increase). The English noun is cognate with āka, auki.
