English[уреди]
Etymology[уреди]
From Средњи Енглески game, gamen, gammen, from Стари Енглески gamen (“sport, joy, mirth, pastime, game, amusement, pleasure”), from Proto-West Germanic *gaman, from Пра-Германски *gamaną (“amusement, pleasure, game", literally "participation, communion, people together”), from *ga- (collective prefix) + *mann- (“man”); or alternatively from *ga- + a root from Пра-Индо-Европски *men- (“to think, have in mind”). Cognate with Middle High German gamen (“joy, amusement, fun, pleasure”), Шведски gamman (“mirth, rejoicing, merriment”), Исландски gaman (“fun”). Related to gammon, gamble.
