"etymology_text": "The noun is derived from Middle English wek, weke, wicke (“fibrous cord drawing fuel to flame of a candle, etc.; material used to make this object”), from Old English wēoce (“wick”), from Proto-West Germanic *weukā (“flax bundle; wick”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *weg- (“to weave”).\nIt has been suggested that noun etymology 1, sense 2 (“penis”) is derived from Hampton Wick, used as rhyming slang for prick. If so, that sense should be placed under etymology 2.\nThe verb is derived from the noun.\ncognates\n* Dutch wiek (“wick; wing; blade, propeller”)\n* German Wieche (“wick; wisp”)\n* Swedish veke (“wick”)\n* West Frisian wjok, wjuk (“wing”)",
