Where this word comes from
From Middle High German suochen, süechen, from Old High German suohhen, from Proto-West Germanic *sōkijan, from Proto-Germanic *sōkijaną, from Proto-Indo-European *seh₂g- (“seek out”). Originally Upper German form without umlaut on long rounded vowel before velar, reinforced against the umlauted Central German form (cf. Luxembourgish sichen) by the umlautless past forms (cf. cognate English seek → sought). Other cognates include Dutch zoeken, Low German söken, Danish søge, Gothic 𐍃𐍉𐌺𐌾𐌰𐌽 (sōkjan).
