geek
[[English]]
ipa :/ɡiːk/[Etymology 1]
editStarted as carnival slang, likely from the British dialectal term geck (“a fool, dupe, simpleton”) (1510s), apparently from Dutch gek or Low German geck, from an imitative verb found in North Sea Germanic and Scandinavian meaning "to croak, cackle," and also "to mock, cheat" (Dutch gekken, German gecken, Danish gjække, Swedish gäcka); The root still survives in the Dutch adjective noun gek (“crazy" or "crazy person”). Compare also Old Norse gikkr (“a pert, rude person; jester; fool”).
[Etymology 2]
editProbably related to keek. Compare German gucken (“look”), kieken (“look”) and the dialectal corruption of Dutch keek (“keek”) (from kijk (“look”)), kijken (“to look”).
