   Peeks typically occur when someone wants to catch a glimpse of something that is not readily available or visible, and therefore it involves a sense of urgency and timeliness.

Etymology of PEEKS

The word "peeks" is a derivative of the verb "peek", which originated in the late 16th century. The etymology of "peek" can be traced back to the Middle Dutch word "kēken", meaning "to look". This, in turn, is related to the Middle Low German word "kīken" and the Middle High German word "kīgen". The word was later adopted into English, where it initially meant "to look slyly or quickly". Over time, "peek" evolved to encompass the action of glancing quickly or secretly, and "peeks" therefore refers to multiple instances of those fleeting glances.
