Etimología (Inglés)

Heredado de inglés medio: distingwen

Cognado con inglés: stink

From Middle English distingwen, from Old French distinguer, from Latin distinguere (“to separate, divide, distinguish, set off, adorn, literally mark off”), from di-, dis- (“apart”) + stinguere, related to English stink. Compare extinguish.
