Forms:

α. 1800s–1900s angyshore, 1800s– angashore, 1800s– anghashore, 1800s– angishore, 1900s– aingisheoir, 1900s– ainniseoir, 1900s– angashure.

β. Newfoundland 1900s 'ang-ashore, 1900s– 'angashore, 1900s– 'angshore, 1900s– hang-a-shore, 1900s– hangashore.

Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymon: Irish ainniseoir.
Etymology: < Irish ainniseoir, †aindeiseoir, (also) †aingceiseoir unfortunate person or thing, wretch (1818 or earlier) < ainnis , †aindeis miserable, poor (17th cent. or earlier; Early Irish aindeis left < an- un- prefix1 + dess right: see deasil adv. and n.) + -oir -or suffix. In the β. forms apparently reinterpreted as being < hang v. + ashore adv.2 (reinforcing the development of sense 2).English forms with -ng- reflect either an Irish regional pronunciation of the palatalized nn (/ṉj/), as reflected in the former occasional variant aingceiseoir, or a mishearing of the palatalized nn by English speakers. Related Irish English word. Compare the rare Irish English angish, ainnis (adjective) poor, miserable, (noun) poverty (both a1827 or earlier). With the noun compare Irish ainnise misery (17th cent. or earlier; < ainnis + a suffix forming derivatives).
