Where this word comes from

From pigeō (“to feel annoyance at, feel reluctance at”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *peyǵ- (“ill-meaning, evil-minded, treacherous, hostile, bad”). Related to Old English ġefic (“fraud, deceit, deception”), Old English fācen (“deceit, fraud, treachery, sin, evil, crime, blemish, fault”), Middle High German veichen (“dissembling, deceit, fraud”), though De Vaan is skeptical of the links to the Germanic terms.
