The attestation of parallel forms of the corresponding noun angin n. in several Germanic languages suggests that the verb may also have existed in Germanic. Compare agin v., and later gin v.¹, and also angin n.Perhaps showing a merger of more than one prefixed form of the base (see discussion at on- prefix); compare Old English (Anglian) inginnan (compare in- prefix¹), and also Middle Dutch ontghinnen , ontginnen to begin, to open with a sharp tool, to wound, to undertake, Middle Low German entginnen , enginnen to open with a sharp tool, Old High German inginnan to begin, to happen (Middle High German enginnen ), representing formations in either the cognate of and- prefix or in- prefix¹. The word is common in Old English, but did not survive beyond the early Middle English period.
