Etimologia (Inglese)

Preso in prestito da Middle Low German: lungeren

Affine inglese antico: lungre

In summary

From an earlier term meaning to "lurk, lie in wait for an opportunity", from Middle High German lunger (“greedy, active, brisk, quick”), from Old High German lungar (“quick, easy”), from Proto-West Germanic *lungur, from Proto-Germanic *lunguraz (“quick, vigorous, strong”). Alternatively from Middle Low German lungeren (“to eagerly lie in wait for, long for”) (compare Middle Low German lunger (“desire, lust, longing”)), from Old Saxon lungar (“strong”), from the same origin.
Cognate with Old English lungre (“quickly, at once, speedily, immediately”).
