keekv.

Brit.

/kiːk/, U.S.

/kik/, Scottish English

/kik/

Forms: Middle English kike, kyke, keke, Middle English keky(y)n, kek, Middle English–1500s Scottish keik, 1600s– keek.

Etymology: Not known in Old English, but has Low German cognates: Middle Dutch kîken, kieken (Dutch kijken), Low German kîken (formerly sometimes used in High German); Danish kige, Swedish and Norwegian kika (probably from Low German). Middle Dutch and Low German had also kicken (employed by Luther).It is not clear whether the original Middle English form was kīken or kĭken; the former would agree with the continental forms, but the latter would better explain the variant kēken, from which the modern keek has come down. It is noticeable that the vowel of keek corresponds with that of other words of similar meaning, as peek, peep, peer, Scots teet, and may be due to analogy or feeling of appropriateness.

Now only Scottish and northern dialect.

a. intransitive. To peep; to look privily, as through a narrow aperture, or round a corner; †to glance, gaze (obsolete).
