Etymology

From Middle English enen, from Old English ēanian (“to yean, bring forth young, bring forth lambs”), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *aunōną (“to bring forth lambs”).

An alternate etymology derives the Old English word from a corruption of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old English ēacnian (“to add, increase, be enlarged, be augmented, become pregnant, conceive, bring forth, produce”), from ēacen (“increased, augmented”), from ēaca (“an addition, increase, eeking”), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *aukô (“increase”), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *aweg-, *awek- (“to increase”). More at eke.
