In summary

From Middle High German ente, confluence of (1.) the plural and oblique singular of ant and (2.) the Old High German variant enita, both from older anut, from Proto-West Germanic *anad. Cognate with Dutch eend. The sense “canard” (mid-19th c.) is a calque of French canard, but also ties in with the expression blaue Enten (“lies, humbug”, literally “blue ducks”, since 15th c.). The sense “Citroën 2CV” is shared with Dutch eend.
