Old English

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *fehtaną. Cognate with Old Frisian fiuhta, Old Saxon fehtan, Dutch vechten, Old High German fehtan (German fechten). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peḱ-.

Pronunciation

Verb

feohtan

  1. to fight; contend; make war; combat; struggle

Usage notes

  • Feohtan was generally not used transitively, as in hēo feaht þone dracan ("she fought the dragon"). Instead it was used with a preposition such as on, onġeġn, or wiþ, all meaning "against": hēo feaht wiþ þone dracan (literally "she fought against the dragon").
