Etymology

From Old High German giskehan, prefixed form of skehan, from Proto-Germanic *skehaną. Cognate with German geschehen, Dutch geschieden. From the earliest records of Central Franconian, the verb combines a strong preterite with a weak past participle (versus other High German strong and Dutch/Low German weak forms).[1]
