Etimoloji (İngilizce)

Ortaçağ İngilizcesi öğesinden devralındı: feynen

Fransızca ile aynı kökten türemiştir: feignant

In summary

From Middle English feynen, feinen, borrowed from Old French feindre (“to pretend”), from Latin fingere (“to form, shape, invent”). Compare French feignant (present participle of feindre, literally “feigning”). Also compare feint and fiction.
