Étymologie (Anglais)

Appartenant à anglais: wrangle

Appartenant à bas-allemand: wrangeln

In summary

18th century, from Low German, from Middle Low German rangelen (“to wrestle”), iterative of rangen, byform of wrangen (“to struggle”). Cognate with English wrangle. Related with German ringen (“to wring one's hands”), auswringen (“wring out”), from Proto-Germanic *wringaną. The irregular loss of initial w- in Middle Low German is due to influence by ringen (“to wrestle”), which is from a totally different root (Proto-Germanic *hringaną, related with Ring).
