Etymology 2

From Proto-West Germanic *faih, from Proto-Germanic *faihaz, from Proto-Indo-European *póyḱos; cognate with Old High German fēh, Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐌹𐌷𐍃 (faihs). The Proto-Indo-European root is also the source of Ancient Greek ποικίλος (poikílos, “multicoloured”).

The inflected stem fāg- may be because this word ultimately reflects a Proto-Germanic variant *faigaz; alternatively, it may be due to analogy with other adjectives with an alternation between [x] and [ɣ], such as smēag, smēah (“creeping, subtle”).
