Additional Information

Etymology

1. c.1440, "one of a series of rings or loops which form a chain," probably from O.N. *hlenkr (cf. O.Sw. lænker "chain, link," Norw. lenke, Dan. lænke), from P.Gmc. *khlankijaz (cf. Ger. lenken "to bend, turn, lead," gelenk "articulation, joint, link," O.E. hlencan (pl.) "armor"), from PIE base *qleng- "to bend." The verb (1387) is believed to be from the noun, though it is attested earlier. Missing link between man and apes dates to 1880.
2. From Middle English linke, lenke, from a merger of Old English hlenċe, hlenċa (“ring; chainlink”) and Old Norse *hlenkr, hlekkr (“ring; chain”); both from Proto-Germanic *hlankiz (“ring; bond; fettle; fetter”), from Proto-Germanic *hlankaz (“bendsome, flexible”), from Proto-Indo-European *kleng-, *klenk- (“to bend; twist; wind”). Used in English since the 14th century. Related to lank.

See: Danish 'lænke', Norwegian 'lenke', Norwegian, nynorsk 'lenke'.
