Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German gewīge, *gewīhe (in hirzgewīh), ultimately: * a collective derivation from an Old High German *wīa (“branch”), related with Proto-Slavic *věja (compare Slovene veja), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *woh₁y-éh₂ (“branch, twig”), see also Sanskrit वया (vayā́, “branch, twig”). The consonants -g-, -h- are then mere hiatus breakers. * Alternatively a tool noun derived from Proto-Germanic *wiganą (“to fight”), whence Old English wīgan, related with German weigern (“to refuse”).
