Etymology of ESKE

The word "eske" is an archaic spelling of the pronoun "ask", which means "to inquire or request information". It originated from the Old English verb "ascian" (also spelled "acsian"), which had the same meaning. The Old English word "ascian" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root *aiskōną, which meant "to ask". From there, it is believed to have emerged from the Proto-Indo-European root *h₃ers- meaning "to be predisposed to seek or desire". Over time, the spelling of "ascian" evolved into "ask" while "eske" became obsolete in modern English.
