"wicing" meaning in All languages combined

See wicing on Wiktionary

Noun [Old English]

IPA: /ˈwiː.kinɡ/, [ˈwiː.kiŋɡ]
Etymology: Possibly borrowed or calqued from Old Norse víkingr (“pirate”), itself from Old Norse vík (“inlet”) + -ingr (“one belonging to”, “one who frequents”). In any case, equivalent to wīċ + -ing. Compare Old Frisian wītsing (“pirate, viking”) and Old Saxon wīking (“pirate”), which are formed identically. The North Sea Germanic form, existing in Old English since at least the eighth century, could also have been derived from or influenced by wīċ (“camp”), on account of the temporary encampments which were often a prominent feature of the Vikings’ raids. Some other theories exist.
