eke (EEK) As a verb, “eke” carries two senses: the older one expresses the idea of “adding to” or “increasing” while the one more in use today carries the sense of “managing but with difficulty.” (Extra trivia for word-lovers:
our word “nickname” was originally “an eke-name,” an “additional” name. The “n” of “an” moved over and became part of the next word. “Umpire” went the other way: it was originally “a numpere.”)
