Where this word comes from
The verb is the result of the merger of two middle dutch verbs that meant to 'lean': * From Middle Dutch lēnen, from Old Dutch *linon, from Proto-West Germanic *hlinēn, from Proto-Germanic *hlināną. * From Middle Dutch lênen - leinen, from Old Dutch lēnen - *leinen, from Proto-West Germanic *hlainijan, from Proto-Germanic *hlainijaną. To avoid homonymy with the verb lenen (“to loan”), the word adopted a dialectal 'eu' (øː) vowel.
