The word "finch" originates from Old English finc, derived from Proto-Germanic finkiz, likely imitative of the bird's call. It shares roots with German Fink and Dutch vink. The term has remained structurally intact across Germanic languages, reflecting its ancient onomatopoeic origin rather than a compound or affixed form.
