meklēt

Etymology
The origin of this word is not clear. Some researchers link it to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 dialectal, 🇨🇬 dialectal , ,. Others suggest that comes from, via   (cf.  >  < ) > mekl-. A third idea is that is related to dialectal terms for “digging”, like,  “to dig (in a thick mass)”, , ,. If originally the stem is supposed to have meant “to dig (into a thick mass)”, then it would be possible to derive from 🇨🇬,, leading to an older verb , of which  would originally have been the iterative form; the semantic evolution would have been “thick, wet substance” > “to dig into a thick, wet substance” > “to search for something (in a thick, wet substance)” > “to search, to look for”. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 dialectal.
