vængr
Old Norse edit
Etymology edit
Of uncertain origin. Possibly from Proto-Germanic *wēngijaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂weh₁- (“to blow”), thus related to vindr.
Compare also Danish vinge, Norwegian Bokmål vinge, Swedish vinge and Middle English winge, wenge (whence English wing), which differ in the stem vowel. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
