Etymology of CHEVIED

The word "chevied" is derived from the verb "chivy", which originated in early 19th century England. The etymology of "chivy" is uncertain, but it is believed to have derived from the Romani language, a language spoken by the Romani people (commonly called Gypsies). In Romani, the word "chiv" means "to go" or "to run away". Over time, "chivy" came to mean "to chase" or "to pursue persistently", and "chevied" is the past tense and past participle form of this verb.
