What happened to the Old English word that would be equivalent to on-fang, as in catch on, or start? 75.121.183.70 09:17, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

According to written records there probably never was such an Old English term. That instead sounds a lot like the German anfangen, which is a totally different language altogether. Leasnam (talk) 09:24, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Probably Middle English, but I am bringing it here to verify. If this fails, it should be kept as a Middle English entry. This, that and the other (talk) 02:36, 10 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
