Forms: Old English gæncg- (inflected form), Old English gencg- (inflected form), Old English–Middle English genge, early Middle English kenke, Middle English geing, Middle English geng, Middle English gyn, Middle English–1500s gyng, Middle English–1500s gynge, Middle English–1600s ging, Middle English–1600s ginge, 1500s gin, 1500s–1600s ghing.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Either (i) a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Or (ii) a borrowing from early Scandinavian. Etymon: i-geng n.

Etymology: Either (i) aphetic < i-geng n., or (ii) < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic gengi help, support, following: see i-geng n.). Compare gang n. Compare also genge adj. and geng v.In Old English apparently a strong neuter, as also gegenge i-geng n. (The word differs both in gender and stem class from its homonym genge privy, latrine: see gong n.¹) Alternative derivations. The word is not attested in Old English before the 11th cent., and moreover (in unprefixed form) only in sources that also show undisputed Scandinavian loanwords. If the word is of native origin, a variant with palatalization and assibilation of the stem-final consonant might be expected, but it is difficult to determine whether such a form occurs. In support of aphetic origin perhaps compare quot. OE² at i-geng n. and the variant readings (of unprefixed forms) cited there. Specific senses. With sense 3c compare Old Danish gingi workforce, crew (see i-geng n.). In sense 4 used to translate classical Latin gentēs in its post-classical Latin (Old Testament) sense ‘nations, the Gentiles’, plural of gens (see gens n.).

Obsolete.
