Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Middle Low German kîken, from Old Saxon kīkan, from Proto-West Germanic *kīkan. The verb is strong in Low German, but treated as weak in standard German. Cognate with Dutch kijken. Compare also German gucken, kucken, which need not be originally related, but has probably been influenced by kieken.
