Where does the word "touch" come from?

"Touch" as a verb meaning "to bring into physical contact" comes from Old French tochier, "to touch or hit; to mention or deal with; to pertain to; to pass over" appearing around 1300. It then acquired the meanings "to border on; to attain; to harm or injure; to partake of food; to have sexual contact with" (all from the late 1300s), and "to get by underhanded means" in the 1650s. The noun form, "the making of physical contact," also appears around 1300, derived from the verb. "A small quantity that leaves a mark" is a shortening of the word touchstone, appearing in the 1580s. "A slight attack (as of an illness)" is from the 1660s. The OED lists 140 different meanings for the word - 60 nouns and 79 verbs. Obsolete meanings for the noun include "quality or purity; a reproach; a situation in which the outcome is uncertain; a brief stop during a sea voyage; priming powder as in firearms." Obsolete meanings for the verb include "to sing; to test the purity of gold or silver; to bribe; to direct a sail into the wind; to seize; to succeed in doing something." The earliest written use of the noun is in 1325 in various places including Chronicle Robert of Gloucester, written by (unsurprisingly) one Robert of Gloucester; of the verb, in 1300, in Life & Martyrdom of Thomas Becket (i.e. Harley Manuscript #2277).
