Etymology
1. The oblique case of ånge (in Early Modern Swedish), from Old Swedish ange. Compare Old Norse ang (“fragrance”) and Old Norse anga (“to exhale; to emit fragrance”).
2. Beyond the Nordic languages the origin is unclear, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
ang', Old Norse Nouns '
anga'.
