Походження

Borrowed from Latin pīca (“jay; magpie”). Doublet of pie (“magpie”). From Medieval Latin

Borrowed from Latin pīca (“jay; magpie”). Doublet of pie (“magpie”).

From Medieval Latin pica (“pica: a service book”), possibly from Latin pīca (“magpie”) after the piebald appearance of the typeset page (cf. pie (“disordered type”)). The relation to the printer's measure is unclear, as no edition of the text in pica type is known. The French pica derives from English rather than vice versa.
