Позајмљено од Middle Dutch wagen,[1] from Old Dutch *wagan, from Пра-Западно Германски *wagn, from Пра-Германски *wagnaz (“wagon”), from Proto-Indo-European *woǵʰnos (“wagon, primitive carriage”), from *weǵʰ- (“to transport”). Дублети of wain. Related also to way, weigh.

Sense 8 (“woman of loose morals; obnoxious woman”) is probably a derogatory and jocular reference to a woman being “ridden”, that is, mounted for the purpose of sexual intercourse.

The verb is derived from the noun.[2]
