Proto-Indo-European

    Root

    *pekʷ- (imperfective)[1][2][3]

    1. to cook
    2. to ripen

    Reconstruction

    It has been suggested[4][5] that Hittite and Lydian terms which point to a root *pekʷ- (to pound, crush, crack (grain)) may preserve the original meaning of the PIE root, which later shifted in meaning to “to prepare food, cook” by the ancestor of the non-Anatolian branches.
