pójć

• póć

From po- + ić. First attested in the 15th century. The shift of -o- > -ó- is due to frequent use of the word. /ɔ/ usually shifted to /o/ in closed syllables ending in a voiced consonant or liquid (see History of the Polish language), except in prefixes and adpositions. The frequency of the word highly lexicalized it, causing the shift. Compare Middle Polish dójść (modern dojść).
