Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: clinken

Ereditato da inglese antico: *clincan

Affine olandese medio: klinken

Affine tedesco: klingen

In summary

From Middle English clinken, from Old English *clincan (compare clynnan, clynian (“to sound; resound”)), from Proto-Germanic *klinganą (“to sound”).
Cognates include Middle Dutch klinken and German klingen. Related to cling (sound) and clang. May be further related to call.
Perhaps of onomatopoeic origin, as metal against metal.
