Etymology 2

[edit]

From Middle English wone, variant of wane, from Old Norse ván (hope, expectation). The senses relating to dwelling-places apparently derive from the sense relating to expectation, i.e. the home as the place one is expected to be; cf. von (place where one expects to find fish).[1]
