Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen haut-allemand: bineʒ

Hérité de ancien haut allemand: binuz

In summary

From Middle High German bineʒ, from Old High German binuz, from Proto-West Germanic *binut. The idiom “in die Binsen gehen” is explained from the idea of hunted game being lost when the deer has alighted in the plants. It occurs also with Wicken.
