Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From northern Middle High German wieke, which may be an unshifted relict variant of wieche, from Old High German wiohha (*wioka), or alternatively a merger of the former with related Middle High German wicke. Both pertain to Luxembourgish wéckelen (“to wind”). Middle High German wieche is cognate with obsolete German Wieche, Dutch wiek, Danish væge, Old English wēoce. Middle High German wicke is cognate with Old English wecca, whence English wick.
Alternative forms
Noun
Wick f (plural Wicken)
Derived terms
- Schnéiwick (“snowdrift”)
Etymology 2
From Middle High German wicke, from Old High German wicka, a borrowing from Latin vicia. The Luxembourgish -i- (instead of regular -é- or -a-) must be due to influence by either etymology 1 or the German cognate Wicke. Also cognate with Dutch wikke, English vetch.
Alternative forms
- Wéck (dialectal)
Noun
Wick f (plural Wicken)
