Etymology
1. 1499, shortened from
dawning, dawing (1297), from O.E.
dagung, from

dagning, O.N.
dagan). The noun is first recorded 1599.
2. From Middle English dawnen, either a back-formation from dawnynge or a modification of dawen (“to dawn”) after it. The noun is from the verb. See: Middle English '
dawnen'.
