Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English dialects, related to the verb welken (to fade or wither) and Old English welian. It shares Germanic roots with Old High German welk meaning moist or soft, eventually shifting in meaning to describe the loss of freshness and rigidity in plants and figuratively in human energy.
