piger c
Believed to be derived from an adjective meaning "caught", fromLate Latin*pedicus, fromLatinpedica(“snare, shackle, fetter”), and thereforedoublet ofpiéger.
piger
This is a regular-er verb, but the stem is writtenpige- before endings that begin with-a- or-o- (to indicate that the-g- is a "soft"/ʒ/ and not a "hard"/ɡ/). This spelling change occurs in all verbs in-ger, such asneiger andmanger.

Frompigeō(“to feel annoyance at, feel reluctance at”), perhaps fromProto-Indo-European*peyǵ-(“ill-meaning, evil-minded, treacherous, hostile, bad”). Related toOld Englishġefic(“fraud, deceit, deception”),Old Englishfācen(“deceit, fraud, treachery, sin, evil, crime, blemish, fault”),Middle High Germanveichen(“dissembling, deceit, fraud”), though De Vaan is skeptical of the links to the Germanic terms.[1]
