WATCH

What watch means

A small timepiece worn on the wrist or carried in a pocket that displays the current time, or to observe something carefully and attentively.

Where the word comes from

From Old English "wæcce," meaning to keep awake or stand guard. This came from Proto-Germanic "wakhjan," related to waking and being alert. The sense of observing or looking at something developed later. The noun meaning a timepiece came much later, around the 16th century, from the device's purpose of marking time while one kept watch.
