Where this word comes from

First attested in the 15th century as undersuochen. This form suggests that it had already existed as Middle High German *undersuochen. The existence of an unattested Old High German form *untarsuohhen is probable, compare Old Saxon undarsōkian (whence Low German ünnersöken), Old Dutch undersuoken (whence Dutch onderzoeken), and Old English undersēċan (whence English underseek), all from Proto-West Germanic *undersōkijan (literally “to search under or between”). Equivalent to unter- + suchen.
