Origin:
The word "oaken" is derived from the Old English word "ācen," which itself originated from the Proto-Germanic "akinaz." This Proto-Germanic root is also the ancestor of the Latin word "acus" (meaning "needle") and the Greek word "akē" (meaning "point"). The ultimate origin of these words lies in the Proto-Indo-European root "h₂eḱ-," which meant "sharp" or "pointed."
The Proto-Germanic "*akinaz" referred to a type of tree with sharp or pointed leaves, which later came to refer specifically to oak trees. The Old English "ācen" then developed the meaning of "made of oak wood" or "having the qualities of oak," which is the meaning that the word "oaken" carries today.
