Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German jucken, jücken, from Old High German jucchen, from Proto-West Germanic *jukkjan. The form with -u- shows (chiefly Upper German) umlaut hindrance before a velar geminate; here likely reinforced by the desire to avoid jü- (which in German exists only in derivatives of jung and Jude; cf. also the total absence of ji-).
