sickig

German

Etymology

From Central Franconian seckig (“annoyed, pissed off”). Analysable as sicken +‎ -ig. This verb is from Central Franconian secke (“to piss” and figuratively “to be pissed off, to complain”). Compare the same semantics in cognate Dutch zeiken (“to piss; to complain”). These verbs are further cognate with archaic German seichen (“to piss”), from Proto-Germanic *saikijaną.
