Etymology 1
The noun is derived from Middle English eke, eche (“addition, increase; enhancement; additional piece of land”), from Old English ?aca (“addition, increase; supplement”), from Proto-Germanic *aukô (“addition, increase”), from *aukan? (“to grow, increase”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h?ewg- (“to enlarge, increase”). The English noun is cognate with Old Frisian ?ka (“addition, increase; bonus”), Old Norse auki (“growth, increase, proliferation”).
The verb is derived partly:
- from the noun; and
- from Middle English eken (“to increase; to enlarge, expand, extend; to lengthen; to add to, amplify; to improve; to stimulate; to advance; to exalt; to intensify; to aggravate, make worse; to prosper, succeed”) [and other forms], from three distinct verbs (1) Old English ?can, ?can, ?e?an, ?can (“(West Saxon) to increase; to accomplish”), (2) ?acan (“to be enlarged or increased”), and (3) ?acian, all from Proto-Germanic *aukan? (“to grow, increase”); see further above.
The English verb is cognate with Latin auge? (“to augment, increase; to enlarge, expand, spread; to lengthen; to exaggerate; to enrich; to honour; (figuratively) to exalt, praise”), Old English ?ac (“also”), Old Norse auka (“to augment, increase; to add; to exceed, surpass”) (Danish øge (“to enhance; to increase”), Icelandic auka (“to augment, increase”), Norwegian Bokmål øke (“to increase”), Norwegian Nynorsk auka (“to increase”), Swedish öka (“to increase”)).

The English word is cognate with Gothic ???????????? (auk, “also; for, because; but also”), Old Frisian âk, Old High German ouh (“also, as well, too”) (Middle High German ouch, modern German auch (“also, as well, too”)), Old Norse auk (“also; and”) (Danish og (“and”), Swedish och (“and”), ock (“(dated) also, as well as, too”)), Old Saxon ôk (Dutch ook (“also, too; moreover; either”)), Saterland Frisian ook, uk (“also, too”), West Frisian ek (“also, too”).
