Fickle comes from the Old English word ficol, for deceitful.

善变的人改变主意的程度如此之大，你不能依赖他们。如果你最好的朋友一周突然决定不喜欢你，然后下周又想出去玩，那么她就是善变的。

词源：
fickle(adj.)c. 1200, “false, treacherous, deceptive, deceitful, crafty” (obsolete), probably from Old English ficol “deceitful, cunning, tricky,” related to befician “deceive,” and to facen “deceit, treachery; blemish, fault.” Common Germanic (compare Old Saxon fekan “deceit,” Old High German feihhan “deceit, fraud, treachery”), from the same source as foe.
Sense of “changeable, inconstant, unstable” is from c. 1300 (especially of Fortune and women). Related: Fickleness. Fickly (c. 1300) is rare or obsolete. Also with a verb form in Middle English, fikelen “to deceive, flatter,” later “to puzzle, perplex,” which survived long enough in Northern dialects to get into Scott’s novels. Fikel-tonge (late 14c.) was an allegorical or character name for “one who speaks falsehoods.”also from c. 1200
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
善变的（形容词）c. 1200，“虚假的，奸诈的，欺骗性的，欺骗性的，狡猾的”（已废弃），可能源自古英语 ficol“欺骗性的，狡猾的，狡猾的”，与 befician“欺骗”相关，并与facen“欺骗，背叛；瑕疵，过错”相关。通用日耳曼语（比较古撒克逊语 fekan “欺骗”，古高地德语 feihhan “欺骗、欺诈、背叛”），与 foe 来源相同。 “变化的、不稳定的、不稳定的”的含义来自c。 1300（尤其是财富和女性）。相关：善变。 Fickly（约 1300 年）很少见或已经过时。在中古英语中，fikelen 也有动词形式，意为“欺骗、奉承”，后来“迷惑、困惑”，在北方方言中保留了足够长的时间，并出现在斯科特的小说中。 Fikel-tonge（14世纪晚期）是一个寓言或人物名称，意为“说谎的人”。 1200
