Etymology of STUNG

The word "stung" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "sting".

The etymology of "sting" can be traced back to the Old English word "stingan", which had the same meaning. This word can be found in various Germanic languages with similar spellings and meanings, such as the Old Norse "stinga" and Old High German "stungen".

The root of the word can be connected to the Proto-Germanic word "*stengan", which meant "to prick" or "to puncture". This Proto-Germanic root is also thought to be related to the Old Norse word "stöng" meaning "a pole" or "a stick". The connection between these meanings might stem from the idea of a sharp object penetrating or pricking something, much like the action of a sting.
