From Middle High German schicken (“to outfit oneself, fit in, arrange appropriately”), from Old High German *skihhen, from Proto-West Germanic *skikkijan, from Proto-Germanic *skikkijaną (“to order, send”). This represents the causative of Middle High German geschehen, geschēn (“to happen, rush”). Akin to Middle English skekken (“to send forth”), Old English sċēon (“to happen”), Dutch schie- in schielijk (“hasty”). Related to English chic.
