Etymology
Unknown. Possibly from Late Latin tanganum (“stubborn”), a borrowing from a Germanic language. Often connected to German Zange (“tongs”), from Proto-Germanic *tangō. Compare also Old French tangre (“stubborn, tough”), Old High German zangar (“biting, sharp”), Old Irish daingen (“strong, firm”). See: German Nouns '
Zange'.
