v.

old english secan “inquire, search for; pursue; long for, wish for, desire; look for, expect from,” influenced by old norse soekja, both from proto-germanic -sokjan (cf. old saxon sokian, old frisian seka, middle dutch soekan, old high german suohhan, german suchen, gothic sokjan), from pie -sag-yo-, from root -sag- “to track down, seek out” (cf. latin sagire “to perceive quickly or keenly,” sagus “presaging, predicting,” old irish saigim “seek”). the natural modern form of the anglo-saxon word as uninfluenced by norse is in beseech. related: sought; seeking.
