viking XIX (first in Icel. form
vikingr or vars. of this,
vikinger,
-ir). — ON. (Icel.)
víkingr, commonly held to be f.
vík creek, inlet +
-ingr -ING3, as if ‘frequenter of inlets of the sea’; but the existence of the word in OE. as early as VIII (in
wīcingsċeaða) and in OFris. (
wī(t)sing) suggests that it may have originated in that linguistic area (f. OE.
wīc, OFris.
wīk, in the sense ‘camp’).
