Etymologie (Engels)

Verwant aan Duits: Schick

Verwant aan Nederlands: schielijk

Verwant aan Oudengels: sċēon

In summary

Borrowed from French chic (“elegant”), which in turn is probably borrowed from German Schick (“elegant appearance; tasteful presentation”). The word is akin to Dutch schielijk (“hasty”), schikken (“to arrange”) and Old English sċēon (“to happen”).
