Etymology 1

The origin is not known with certainty, although first attested in 1775 C.E. in British criminals' slang. It is probably from feak, feague (“to give a better appearance through artificial means”); akin to Dutch veeg (“a slap”), vegen (“to sweep, wipe”); German fegen (“to sweep, to polish”). Compare Old English f?cn, f?cen (“deceit, fraud”). Perhaps related to Old Norse fjúka (“fade, vanquish, disappear”), feikn (“strange, scary, unnatural”).
