ACRIMONIE

Etymology: Latin acrimonia "sharpness, pungency" from acer "sharp." The original PIE root was *ak- "sharp, pointed." Suffixed as *ak-ya-, this root devolved into Old Norse eggya "incite, goad" borrowed as "to egg (on)" in English. It became "edge" in English itself. Suffixed with –men and -mer, the root *ak- underwent metathesis (place switching) to *ka-, so as to become kamen' "stone" in Russian and "hammer" in English and other Germanic languages (where PIE [k] became [h] or [gh]). Latin acus "needle" shares the same origin. It produced "acumen," "acuity," and "acupuncture." In Greek, with the suffix –m, the same root turns up in acme "point, pinnacle" and with –r, as acros "high, top" found in acrobat, from acro "high" + bainen, bat- "walk."talxi
