Seeks

/siːks/ verb

To search for or try to find something or someone deliberately.

Etymology

From Old English 'secan,' related to German 'suchen.' The word originally meant 'to follow a track' and evolved to mean 'to search for' in general.

Kelly Says

The word 'seek' appears in famous phrases like 'seek and ye shall find,' but it's also root of 'berserk'—Norwegian warriors called 'berserkers' were literally 'bare-shirt wearers' who would seek out battle in a wild frenzy.
