* Note : A French source is possible but uncertain. In the Oxford English Dictionary, first edition, the etymology of this verb cites "Old French eschequier, eschecquer" and "Old Northern French eskekier," without specification of sources. A form eskieka occurs in the Picard version (manuscript P) of the Old French narrative poem Guillaume d'Angleterre, but the meaning is not clear. Dictionnaire du Moyen Français has a verb eschequer with the meanings "go off, go away" (déguerpir) and "avoid, avert" (éviter) that appears to have no relation to chess.;
