Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1130] *ueik\/g- `give way, yield'

Etymology: Among the many verbs based on IE. u̯eik- (WP. 1, 232ff.; s. also W.-Hofmann s. vicis und vincō) there is no semantically convincing connection. Semantically agrees to (Ϝ)είκω Skt. vijáte (younger vejate) `fly, give way' and Germ. pres, e. g. OS. wīcan, OHG wīhhan ` weichen etc.', both from IE *u̯eig-, not u̯eik- as in (Ϝ)είκω. The variation may be due to assimilation to consonantic endings; cf. the Skt. aorist forms vik-thās, vik-ta. S. also ἐπίεικτος.
