‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

From my deep photo files. No real details or backstory, since I don’t remember much about it — but I like the way the shadows below the lashes suggest a stormy sky.
