Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English speke, speken (to speak), from Old English specan (to speak). This is usually taken to be an irregular alteration of earlier sprecan, spreocan (to speak), from *sprekan, from Proto-Germanic *sprekaną (to speak, make a sound), from Proto-Indo-European *spreg- (to make a sound, utter, speak).
