Étymologie (English)

Inherited from moyen anglais: peyne

Cognate with danois: pine

Cognate with norvégien bokmål: pine

Cognate with allemand: Pein

Cognate with néerlandais: pijn

Cognate with afrikaans: pyn

In summary

From Middle English peyne, payne, from Old French and Anglo-Norman peine, paine, from Latin poena (“punishment, pain”), from Ancient Greek ποινή (poinḗ, “bloodmoney, weregild, fine, price paid, penalty”).
Doublet of peine. Compare Danish pine, Norwegian Bokmål pine, German Pein, Dutch pijn, Afrikaans pyn. See also pine (the verb). Partly displaced native Old English sār (whence Modern English sore).
