[edit] Etymology
From Middle English weke, from Old English wice, wucu (“week”), from Proto-Germanic *wikōn (“turn, succession, change, week”), from Proto-Indo-European *weig-, *weik- (“to bend, wind, turn, yield”). Related to Proto-Germanic *wīkanan (“to bend, yield, cease”). The Dutch noun derives from a related verb *waikwaz, via the current Dutch form wijken 'to cede, give way'.
Related words are Old High German wohha (Modern German Woche), Old Frisian wike, Middle Dutch weke (“week”), Old Saxon wika, Old Norse vika, Gothic 𐍅𐌹𐌺𐍉 (wikô, “turn for temple service”), Old English wīcan.
