when was it "to seem"?
- trealira 2y agoIn Old English: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/methinks#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/methinks#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%BEyncan#Old_English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%BEyncan#Old_English Edit: According to Wiktionary, it seems the meaning "to seem" was the Old English verb þyncan, and there was another verb þenċan, which meant "to think." That is, it came from the combination of two different verbs that sounded similar. So, maybe it wasn't the best example.
