verbWeak class 3to followUncertain. Possibly originated as a compound of the roots of *fullaz (‘full’) and *gāną (‘to go’), with a sense of "full-going". This could have shifted to a meaning of "to serve, go with as an attendant" (compare also fulfill).Alternatively, may be derived from a Proto-Indo-European *pelḱ-, *polḱ- (‘to turn, twist, wind’), which itself might have merged with another verb to form Proto-Germanic *felhaną (“to conceal”, but also “to go, proceed”).
