Word origin
The prefix derivative verschicken combines ver- with schicken, whose basic meaning is sending; the derived verb denotes sending something off to its destination.
Usage tips
- The prefix ver- is inseparable, so the forms are ich verschicke and ich habe verschickt, not a split form such as ich schicke ... ver.
