Etymology

From Middle English futtek, votek, of uncertain origin; perhaps a compound of Old English f?t + h?c, or fut +? -uc (foot hook or foot -ock), Old Dutch vot or fuot + hoek; or from timber jargon word butt +? -ock (diminutive suffix). Alternatively from Middle Dutch voetkijn, diminutive of voet (“foot”), equivalent to foot +? -kin; or Old English *f?tuc, meaning foot +? -ock (diminutive suffix).

Perhaps came into Old English from Old Norse fótr, or fett / futt (big); + ek (timbr), or øks; giving Old Norse fót'ek, futtek or futtøks; equivalent Norwegian is fot haki, fett eik (tømmer), or fett øks; meaning foot hook, big oak (timber) , or bold axe.
