From Middle English liken, from Old English līcian (“to please, be sufficient”), from Proto-Germanic *līkōnan (“to please”), from Proto-Indo-European *līg- (“image, likeness, similarity”). Cognate with Dutch lijken (“to seem”), German leichen (“to resemble”), Icelandic líka (“to like”).
Synonyms: fancy, favorite, favourite, preference, for example, formal, such as, ilk, all, go, according to, agnate, akin, alike, allied, allying, analogous, approximating, approximative

In both, either like or liked is possible. In the first, the word is followed by a past infinitive: We liked (or like) to have drowned. The ancestor of this construction was probably the adjective like in the sense "likely, on the verge of," as in She's like to get married again. The adjective was reinterpreted by some speakers as a verb, and since like to and liked to are indistinguishable in normal speech, the past tense came to be marked on the following infinitive for clarity. From this developed a second way of expressing the same concept: the use of like to with a following finite past-tense verb form, as in I like to died when I saw that. This construction appears odd at first because it ostensibly contains an ungrammatical infinitive to died; but that is not the case at all.
