Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *konëh, from Pre-Finnic *konïš, borrowed from Pre-Germanic *gn̥ni̯o- (later Proto-Germanic *kunją (“omen, portent, miracle”)), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃-. Cognates include Old Norse kyn (“wonder”). The original meaning in Finnish was "magic, magic trick". The development of senses attested in the written language is "means, method" (1725), "tool" (1734), "apparatus, instrument" (1745), "machine" (1770s). Cognate with Karelian koneh (“magic”), konehtie (“to conjure”) and Estonian kõne (“speech”).
