duce

(found only in genitive

ducan

) "a duck," literally "a ducker," presumed to be from Old English

(v.)). Replaced Old English

ened

as the name for the bird, this being from PIE

In the domestic state the females greatly exceed in number, hence

duck

serves at once as the name of the female and of the race,

drake

being a specific term of sex. [OED]

As a term of endearment, attested from 1580s (see

ducky

).
