The word "anticked" is derived from the verb "antic", which has its origins in the Middle English word "antik", meaning "grotesque", "bizarre", or "strange". This Middle English word, in turn, comes from the Italian word "antico" or "antica", meaning "ancient" or "antique". The Italian term referred to the ancient statues and art that were often bizarre or grotesque in design, and eventually, the meaning of "antic" expanded to include any absurd or exaggerated behavior. Over time, the verb form "to antic" was developed, and the past participle "anticked" emerged to describe someone who has engaged in such behavior or acted in a ridiculous manner.
