Etymology

The word 'fetch' originates from the Old English word 'fetscan', meaning 'to bring' or 'to carry.' The term has Germanic roots, deriving from the Proto-Germanic '*fatskลnฤ…', which also means 'to catch or fetch.' Over the centuries, the term evolved in different forms across various languages; for example, in Middle English, it appeared as 'fecchen.' The evolution continued into Modern English, where 'fetch' became a commonly used verb. Its meaning has remained relatively stable, primarily associated with the act of retrieving something.
