different between buy vs parches
buy
English
Etymology
From Middle English bien, biggen, buggen, from Old English byc?an (“to buy, pay for, acquire, redeem, ransom, procure, get done, sell”), from Proto-West Germanic *buggjan, from Proto-Germanic *bugjan? (“to buy”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *b??g?- (“to bend”), or from Proto-Indo-European *b?eug?- (“to take away, deliver”).
Cognate with Scots by (“to buy, purchase”), obsolete Dutch beugen (“to buy”), Old Saxon buggian, buggean (“to buy”), Old Norse byggja (“to procure a wife, lend at interest, let out”), Gothic ???????????????????????? (bugjan, “to buy”). The spelling with “u” is from the Southwest, while the pronunciation with /a?/ is from the East Midlands.
