Etymology

From po- +‎ ić. The shift of -o- > -ó- is due to frequent use of the word. /ɔ/ usually shifted to /o/ in closed syllables ending in a voiced consonant or liquid (compare łoże, łożyć > łóżko), except in prefixes and adpositions. The frequency of the word highly lexicalized it, causing the shift. Compare Middle Polish dójść (modern dojść). First attested in the 15th century.
