Where this word comes from

From Old Norse í gegn ("against"), from í ("in, on") and gegn ("straight, direct"). Probably through Danish. Compare Old English gegn and ongean (the origin of "again"); English again, Danish igen and German gegen. The form igjen spelled as ᛁᚵᛁ+ᚳ instead of igen is known from a danicized Norwegian neo-runic inscription from 1791.
