More specifically an Austrian german word. And probably just loaned from the english „fashionable“.
Never heard the word myself.
My grandmother used to say „fesch“ a lot, it’s really outdated.

During her daddy’s business trip in the 1960s maybe. I don’t think anyone under 70 in the early 2000s in Germany would say „fesch“.
I have heard that word, yes, but it’s really outdated.
Didn’t know that THAT might have been what they based „fetch“ on though! TIL. Thanks!
Fesch is very common in Austria, idk why people are saying its outdated
Stop trying to make „fesch“ happen! It’s not going to happen!
Munich here, and I can confirm the word is very much in use in southern Bavaria and most of Austria.

Wouldn’t fetch simply come from fetching?
‚He’s a fetching young man‘ was a very common phrase if 50s tv teaches us anything
It’s not outdated. It’s used very much by people who speak a Berlin accent as well. Fesch and schau.
I have never heard that word. What does it mean in English?
It’s „fesch“ and though a little outdated it’s pretty common.
Older people often told me I was looking „fesch“ and we call our friends/coworkers that sometimes
„Du siehst heute aber fesch aus!“
I thought the Czech word „fešák“ (means smth like „good-looking person“) comes from English „fashion“ but apparently it’s German lol
