Forms: early Old English cuique, early Old English quicae, early Old English quiquae, Old English cwice, Old English wice (transmission error), Old English–early Middle English quice, late Old English cvice, early Middle English þithe (transmission error), Middle English 1600s–1700s quich, 1500s quisshe, 1500s quycche, 1500s quyche, 1500s– quitch, 1600s cuich, 1600s quoich; See also couch n.², quack n.⁴, quick n.²

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Middle Dutch queke (Dutch kweek ), Middle Low German quēke , quecke , Old High German quecka (German Quecke (15th cent.) is < Middle Low German), Swedish kvicka (1712; also kveka ; chiefly regional), Danish kvik (probably < German), probably < the Germanic base of quick adj., so called on account of its vitality, i.e. its lush growth and indestructibility (compare quickbeam n.). Compare scutch n.³, squitch n., twitch n.², and perhaps compare queach n.It is uncertain which plant is denoted by Old High German quecka (which is only found glossing Latin intiba). In Old English a weak feminine; however, a strong masculine by-form is also attested.

1. More fully quitch grass. Couch grass, Elymus repens. Cf. quick n.² 1.
