Etymologia (Angielski)

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: pingen

Dziedziczone z staroangielski: pyngan

Pokrewny z angielski: pang

In summary

Partly onomatopoeic, and partly continuing Middle English pingen (“to push, shove, pierce, stab, prod, goad, urge, feel remorse, incite”), from Old English pyngan (“to prick”), in turn likely from pungere. Compare English pang.
