Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
Middle English fecchen, from Old English feccan "to bring, bring to; seek, gain, take," apparently a variant of fetian, fatian "bring near, bring back, obtain; induce; marry," which is probably from Proto-Germanic *fetan (cognates: Old Frisian fatia "to grasp, seize, contain," Old Norse feta "to find one's way," Middle Dutch vatten, Old High German sih faggon "to mount, climb," German fassen "to grasp, contain").\n
\nThis would connect it to the PIE verbal root *ped- "to walk," from *ped- (1) "foot" (see foot (n.)). With widespread sense development: to "reach," "deliver," "effect," "make (butter), churn" (19c.), "restore to consciousness" (1620s), also various nautical senses from 16c.-17c.; meaning "to bring in as equivalent or price" is from c.1600. In 17c. writers on language didn't derive a word's etymology; they fetched it. As what a dog does, c.1600, originally fetch-and-carry. Variant form fet, a derivation of the original Old English version of the word, survived as a competitor until 17c. Related: Fetched; fetching.
"apparition of a living person, specter, a double," 1787, an English dialect word of unknown origin (see OED for discussion).\n\nA peculiarly weird type of apparition is the wraith (q.v.) or double, of which the Irish fetch is a variant. The wraith is an exact facsimile of a living person, who may himself see it. Goethe, Shelley, and other famous men are said to have seen their own wraiths. The fetch makes its appearance shortly before the death of the person it represents, either to himself or his friends, or both.
[Lewis Spence, "An Encyclopedia of Occultism," 1920]
"act of fetching," 1540s, from fetch (v.).

Wikipedia
Fetch may refer to:
- Fetch (game), a game played between a human and a pet in which the human throws an object for the pet to retrieve
- Fetch (folklore), a doppelgänger or double in Irish folklore
- Fetch (geography), the length of water over which a given wind has blown
The fetch, also called the fetch length, is the length of water over which a given wind has blown. Fetch is used in geography and meteorology and its effects are usually associated with sea state and when it reaches shore it is the main factor that creates storm surge which leads to coastal erosion and flooding. It also plays a large part in longshore drift as well.
Fetch length, along with the wind speed (wind strength), determines the size ( sea state) of waves produced. The wind direction is considered constant. The longer the fetch and the faster the wind speed, the more wind energy is imparted to the water surface and the larger the resulting sea state will be.

Fetch is a game usually played with a dog. An object, such as a stick or ball, is thrown a moderate distance away from the animal, and it is the animal's objective to grab and retrieve it. Many times, the owner of the animal will say "Fetch" to the animal before or after throwing the object. In rare instances, cats, especially younger cats, have been known to engage in fetch behavior.
A fetch is a supernatural double or an apparition of a living person in Irish folklore. It is largely akin to the doppelgänger, and sightings are regarded as omens, usually for impending death. The origin of the term is unclear.
Fetch is the seventh album by Japanese noise rock band Melt-Banana. It was released on October 1, 2013, on CD, LP and digitally. It is the band's first album of new material in six years, since Bambi's Dilemma (2007). The recording sessions for the album had to be postponed due to the Tohoku earthquake and the aftermath of the subsequent meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The album was recorded as a duo, with vocalist Yasuko Onuki and guitarist Ichirou Agata opting to use synthesized backing music. Melt-Banana have also been performing live as a duo since mid-2012. Following the release of the album, the band went on tour in North America.
