oriege
Old English
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-West Germanic *uzaugī. Cognate with Old High German urougi. Equivalent to or- + -īeġe, literally meaning “out of eyes.” The word could have originally been modeled after a Proto-Germanic phrase *uz augammaz, cf. Modern German aus den Augen (“out of sight,” lit. “out of the eyes”).
