Etymology
From Middle English smiker, from Old English smicer, smicor (“beauteous, beautiful, elegant, fair, fine, neat, tasteful”), from Proto-Germanic *smikraz (“fine, elegant, delicate, tender”), from Proto-Indo-European *sm?yg- (“small, delicate”), from Proto-Indo-European *sm?-, *smey- (“to smear, stroke, wipe, rub”). Cognate with Middle High German smecker (“neat, elegant”), Ancient Greek ??????? (smikrós), ?????? (mikrós, “small, short”), Lithuanian smeigti (“to lunge, thrust, jab”), Latin m?ca (“crumb, morsel, bit”).
For the verb, compare Swedish smickra (“to flatter, coax, wheedle, butter up”), Danish smigre (“to flatter”).
