eke
[[English]]
ipa :/iːk/[Anagrams]
edit
- Eek, Kee, eek, kee
[Etymology 1]
editThe noun is derived from Middle English eke, eche (“addition, increase; enhancement; additional piece of land”), from Old English ēaca (“addition, increase; supplement”),[1] from Proto-Germanic *aukô (“addition, increase”), from *aukaną (“to grow, increase”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (“to enlarge, increase”).[2] The English noun is cognate with Old Frisian āka (“addition, increase; bonus”), Old Norse auki (“growth, increase, proliferation”).The verb is derived partly:[3]
- from the noun; and
- from Middle English eken (“to increase; to enlarge, expand, extend; to lengthen; to add to, amplify; to improve; to stimulate; to advance; to exalt; to intensify; to aggravate, make worse; to prosper, succeed”) [and other forms], from three distinct verbs (1) Old English ēcan, īcan, īeċan, ȳcan (“(West Saxon) to increase; to accomplish”), (2) ēacan (“to be enlarged or increased”), and (3) ēacian,[4] all from Proto-Germanic *aukaną (“to grow, increase”); see further above.The English verb is cognate with Latin augeō (“to augment, increase; to enlarge, expand, spread; to lengthen; to exaggerate; to enrich; to honour; (figuratively) to exalt, praise”), Old English ēac (“also”), Old Norse auka (“to augment, increase; to add; to exceed, surpass”) (Danish øge (“to enhance; to increase”), Icelandic auka (“to augment, increase”), Norwegian Bokmål øke (“to increase”), Norwegian Nynorsk auka (“to increase”), Swedish öka (“to increase”)).
[Etymology 2]
editFrom Middle English ek, eek, eke (“also”) [and other forms], from Old English ēac, ǣc, ēc (“also”),[6] from Proto-West Germanic *auk, from Proto-Germanic *auk (“also, too; furthermore, in addition”), then either:[7][8]
- from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (“to enlarge, increase”); or
- from Pre-Germanic *h₂ew (“away from, off; again”) + *g(ʰ)e (postpositional intensifying particle meaning ‘at any rate, indeed, in fact’)The English word is cognate with Gothic 𐌰𐌿𐌺 (auk, “also; for, because; but also”), Old Frisian âk, Old High German ouh (“also, as well, too”) (Middle High German ouch, modern German auch (“also, as well, too”)), Old Norse auk (“also; and”) (Danish og (“and”), Swedish och (“and”), ock (“(dated) also, as well as, too”)), Old Saxon ôk (Dutch ook (“also, too; moreover; either”)), Saterland Frisian ook, uk (“also, too”), West Frisian ek (“also, too”).[7]
