Etymology
It is the first line of the main entry that is attestable. The semantics that follow are unconnected and therefore exceedingly dubious as earlier derivations. Professor Skeat adds Welsh CHWIG, with a similar meaning to obsolete dialectual whig (acidulated whey); but am not free to add that to the main entry, in case it be borrowed from WHIG, in the preceding sense.
means 'Absolutely not; means 'Exceedingly unlikely'; means 'Very dubious'; means 'Questionable'; means 'Possible'; means 'Probable'; means 'Likely'; means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested; means 'Attested'; means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods.
