Etymology
Formally from Proto-Germanic *argį̄. Proto-Norse ᛡᚱᛡᚷᛖᚢ (ᴀrᴀgeu /arᵃgju/) (dative/instrumental singular) appears to be a jōn-stem noun, but may still be ancestral to ergi if the declension were irregularly changed. By surface analysis, argr (“effeminate, shameful, homosexual”) + -i (“-ness”, abstract noun suffix).
