In summary

Formally from Middle High German wizzic, wizzec (“wise, sensible”), from Old High German wizzīg (“wise, sensible”), from Proto-West Germanic *witīg. The modern sense developed in the 18th century following the sense of the noun, thus by surface analysis, Witz (“wit/joke”) + -ig (“-y”). Related to English witty (English -y), through Old English wittiġ (“clever, wise”).
