Etymology

[edit]

FromMiddle Englishanger(“grief, pain, trouble, affliction, vexation, sorrow, wrath”), fromOld Norseangr,ǫngr(“affliction, sorrow”) (compareOld Norseang,ǫng(“troubled”)), fromProto-Germanic*angazaz(“grief, sorrow”), fromProto-Indo-European*h₂enǵʰ-(“narrow, tied together”).

Cognate withDanishanger(“regret, remorse”),Norwegian Bokmålanger(“regret, remorse”),Swedishånger(“regret”),Icelandicangur(“trouble”),Old Englishange,enge(“narrow, close, straitened, constrained, confined, vexed, troubled, sorrowful, anxious, oppressive, severe, painful, cruel”),GermanAngst(“anxiety, anguish, fear”),Latinangō(“squeeze, choke, vex”),angor(“strangulation; anguish, torment”) (whence the Englishdoubletangor),Albanianang(“fear, anxiety, pain, nightmare”),Avestan𐬄𐬰𐬀𐬵(ązah,“strangulation; distress”),Ancient Greekἄγχω(ánkhō,“I squeeze, strangle”),Sanskritअंहस्(aṃhas),अंहु(aṃhu,“anxiety, distress, affliction”, literally“narrowness”). Also compare withEnglishanguish,anxious,quinsy, and perhaps toawe andugly. The word seems to have originally meant “to choke, squeeze”.[1]

The verb is fromMiddle Englishangren,angeren, fromOld Norseangra. Compare withIcelandicangra,Norwegian Nynorskangra,Norwegian Bokmålangre,Swedishångra,Danishangre.
