Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro From Middle English quikenen, from quiken + -en. Quiken is derived from Old English cwician, from cwic (alive, live, living; mentally agile; intelligent, keen) (ultimately from Proto-Germanic *kwikwaz (alive; lively; quick) and Proto-Indo-European *gʷeyh₃- (to live)) + -ian. The English word may be analysed as quick + -en.
