Etymology

The word 'itch' dates back to Old English 'icce', which is believed to be of Germanic origin. The term has relatives in various Germanic languages, including the Middle Dutch 'icche' and the German 'jucken'. Over time, the meaning expanded to include not only the physical sensation of needing to scratch but also metaphorical uses related to longing or desire. The concept of itching itself can be traced to various biological functions, serving as a warning sign to avoid harmful irritants. In modern usage, 'itched' reflects both physical discomfort and emotional states, illustrating how language evolves to encompass broader human experiences.
