old english tæcan (past tense and past participle tæhte) “to show, point out,” also “to give instruction,” from proto-germanic -taikijanan (cf. old high german zihan, german zeihen “to accuse,” gothic ga-teihan “to announce”), from pie -deik- “to show, point out” (see diction). related to old english tacen, tacn “sign, mark” (see token). related: taught; teaching.

old english tæcan had more usually a sense of “show, declare, warn, persuade” (cf. german zeigen “to show,” from the same root); while the old english word for “to teach, instruct, guide” was more commonly læran, source of modern learn and lore.
