Nguồn gốc từ
bicycle One explanation for the form with is that bicycle was parsed to bi(cy)c(le). An alternative explanation is that it was parsed to bic(ycle) but since speakers are aware of a general ~ alternation (as in electric ~ electricity etc.), the softened was restored to a default when the “ending” -ycle was dropped. Similar cases are merc, spec for mercenary, specify.
