Dutch

Etymology

From German Pech (bad luck; pitch, tar), from Old High German peh, from Latin pīx. Doublet of inherited pek (pitch). Also cognate with English pitch.

The sense “breakdown” is a Dutch innovation. It is probably modelled on the word ongeluk, which means both “bad luck, misfortune” and “accident”. Since pech typically denotes a lesser kind of bad luck, it came to be used for a lesser kind of traffic accident too. German uses Panne instead; compare Dutch panne.
