Meaning & usage
harangue
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle French harangue (“a public address, public discourse”), from Old Italian aringo (“arena, public square, platform”), from Frankish *hring (“circle, ring”) or Gothic *𐌷𐍂𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (*hriggs, “ring, circle”) or a compound containing it, both from Proto-Germanic *hringaz (“circle, ring”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krengʰ- (“to turn, bend”), from *(s)ker- (“to turn, bend”). Cognate with Old High German hring (“circle, ring”), Old English hring (“circle, ring”). Alternative etymology suggests the possibility that the Italian word may be derived from a Frankish compound *hari-hring (“circular gathering”, literally “host-ring or army-ring”). More at here, ring.
