Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian baka , Middle Dutch bāken (rare), Old High German bachan , bahhan (Middle High German bachen , German regional (south-western) bachen ), and also (with gemination of the internal consonant, the cause of which is uncertain and disputed) Middle Dutch backen (Dutch bakken ), Old Saxon bak- (in compounds; Middle Low German backen ), Old High German (apparently originally western) bacchan (Middle High German backen , German backen ) < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek ϕώγειν to roast, parch, toast, perhaps ultimately (with different extension) < the same Indo-European base as bath n.¹ Compare ( < the same Germanic base, with different stem) Old Icelandic baka, Old Swedish, Swedish baka, Old Danish bakæ (Danish bage), weak verb with the same sense.In Old English a strong verb of Class VI. Weak inflections are first found in Middle English and supersede the strong forms by the end of that period for the past tense, and in the 17th cent. for the past participle, except in Scotland, where strong forms are still sometimes found. The strong past participle is also preserved in slightly wider use in baken adj. In Old English the prefixed verb abacan to bake, prepare (bread) in an oven (compare a- prefix¹) is also attested. With the regional Scots forms bauk and byaukit compare the discussion at bakbrade n.

a. transitive. To cook (food) by dry heat, without direct exposure to flame, typically in an oven, or sometimes on a heated surface such as a griddle, baking stone, etc. Cf. roast v. 1a.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian baka , Middle Dutch bāken (rare), Old High German bachan , bahhan (Middle High German bachen , German regional (south-western) bachen ), and also (with gemination of the internal consonant, the cause of which is uncertain and disputed) Middle Dutch backen (Dutch bakken ), Old Saxon bak- (in compounds; Middle Low German backen ), Old High German (apparently originally western) bacchan (Middle High German backen , German backen ) < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek ϕώγειν to roast, parch, toast, perhaps ultimately (with different extension) < the same Indo-European base as bath n.¹ Compare ( < the same Germanic base, with different stem) Old Icelandic baka, Old Swedish, Swedish baka, Old Danish bakæ (Danish bage), weak verb with the same sense.In Old English a strong verb of Class VI. Weak inflections are first found in Middle English and supersede the strong forms by the end of that period for the past tense, and in the 17th cent. for the past participle, except in Scotland, where strong forms are still sometimes found. The strong past participle is also preserved in slightly wider use in baken adj. In Old English the prefixed verb abacan to bake, prepare (bread) in an oven (compare a- prefix¹) is also attested. With the regional Scots forms bauk and byaukit compare the discussion at bakbrade n. 1. a. transitive. To cook (food) by dry heat, without direct exposure to flame, typically in an oven, or sometimes on a heated surface such as a griddle, baking stone, etc. Cf. roast v. 1a.
