Etymology
Probably inherited from dialectal Arabic تَكّة (takka, “one, piece, morsel, bit, tad”), from Persian تکه (tekke), provided that the borrowing into Arabic happened early enough. Otherwise an independent onomatopoeia could not be ruled out; compare English tick (“checkmark; short moment”).
Pronunciation
Noun
tikka f (plural tikek, paucal tikkiet)
