different between skeptic vs skeptick
skeptic
English
Alternative forms
- sceptic (British)
Etymology
From Latin *scepticus, (attested only in plural Sceptici (“the sect of Skeptics”)), from Ancient Greek ????????? (skeptikós, “thoughtful, inquiring”), from ????????? (sképtomai, “I consider”), compare to ?????? (skopé?, “I view, examine”). (Note: In French, C in front of E and I had shifted (or was shifting) from the original [k] sound of Latin to the [s] sound, which might explain the double spelling, as some might have wanted to make sure that [k] would remain [k] by bringing back the K from the Greek spelling.)
