Etymology 1
The origin is not known with certainty, although first attested in 1775 in British criminals' slang. It is probably from feak, feague, "to give a better appearance through artificial means"; akin to D veeg a slap, vegen to sweep, wipe; German fegen, "to sweep", "to polish", compare Old English fācn, fācen:

Etymology 2
