erquicken
Appearance
German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German erquicken, from Old High German irquicken. Equivalent to er- + quick (“lively”) + -en. The simplex quick is Low German, but in the verb the -i- is due to regular lack of a-mutation.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]erquicken (weak, third-person singular present erquickt, past tense erquickte, past participle erquickt, auxiliary haben)
- (formal) to refresh, revive
- Synonym: erfrischen
- 1808, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Vorspiel auf dem Theater”, in Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil [Faust, Part One][1]:
