The term "which" has its roots in Old English as "hwilc" or "hwelc."

"Which" is often used to specify one or more items from a defined set or to introduce additional information about something mentioned.

Including the "h" ensures correct pronunciation and distinguishes "which" from other similar-sounding words.

"Which" is versatile, appearing in questions, relative clauses, and as a determiner.

No, "wich" is a misspelling. The correct word is "which."

"Which" is used to ask or specify, while "witch" refers to a person thought to possess magical powers.

A prevalent mistake is using "which" in restrictive clauses where "that" would be more appropriate.

Not in the context of "which." However, historically, "wich" or "-wich" in place names (like "Norwich") refers to settlements, especially ones associated with salt production.
