Egge

German

Etymology

Derived in early modern German from the verb eggen, possibly under influence of ecke, also egge (“corner; sharp edge; blade”), whence contemporary Ecke (“corner”). The older Middle High German egede from Old High German egida is only continued dialectally (early modern German eide). The same development in Dutch eg.
