Viking was a Common Germanic word which appeared in Old English even before any Norse invasions could have taken place.  The Old English form of it was wicing (from wic 'a settlement' and the termination -ing meaning something like 'pertaining to'), and the earliest sense, found in the early eighth century, was 'robber' or 'pirate', for settlements in those times were commonly brought about by force, and to the inhabitants displaced by them the new settlers seemed much like robbers.

-- C.L. Wrenn, The English Language (1949)
