Etymologie (Engels)

From Middle High German wigen, a north-western variant of wegen, from generalisation of the latter's present singular forms (wige, wiges, wiget). Further from Old High German wegan, from Proto-West Germanic *wegan.
Cognate with Luxembourgish weien, Dutch wegen, English weigh, Danish veje, Icelandic vega.
The original e-form is preserved in the doublet wägen, which is now chiefly restricted to figurative senses and derivatives (abwägen, erwägen). Moreover, bewegen is partly from the same verb, partly from the causative (Proto-Germanic *wagjaną).
