Etymology
From Middle English weke < Old English wice < Proto-Germanic *wikon (original meaning was probably turn or succession) < Proto-Indo-European base *weik- (to bend, wind). Related to Proto-Germanic *wikanan ("to bend"). The Dutch noun derives from a related verb *waikwaz ("to yield"), via the current Dutch form wijken.
Related words are Old High German wohha, Modern German Woche, Old Frisian wike, Middle Dutch weke ("week"), Old Saxon wika, Old Norse vika, Gothic wikô ("turn for temple service"), Old English wican ("to yield", "give way").
