Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: sik

Ereditato da inglese antico: sēoc

Affine frisone occidentale: siik

Affine olandese: ziek

Affine tedesco: siech

Affine norvegese bokmål: syk

Affine norvegese nynorsk: sjuk

Affine danese: syg

Affine irlandese medio: socht

Affine Classical Armenian: հիւծանիմ

In summary

From Middle English sik, sike, seek, seke, seok, from Old English sēoc (“sick, ill”), from Proto-West Germanic *seuk, from Proto-Germanic *seukaz, from Proto-Indo-European *sewg- (“to be troubled or grieved”).
See also West Frisian siik, Dutch ziek, German siech, Norwegian Bokmål syk, Norwegian Nynorsk sjuk, Danish syg; also Middle Irish socht (“silence, depression”), Old Armenian հիւծանիմ (hiwcanim, “I am weakening”).
The "very good, excellent" sense is an ameliorative semantic shift from the original sense of "in poor health". Compare similar semantic development in terrific and wicked.
