Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *hinkaną. Cognate with Old High German hinchan, hinkan, German hinken; Old Dutch *hinkan, Dutch hinken; Old Norse hinka, Icelandic hinka. Attested in the agent noun hellehinca (“hell-hobbler”), and in single use as hincodon (they limped), however there is debate over the manuscript text which, according to Lindelöf, may read luncodon, and should therefore read *luncian, cognate with Swedish lunka, Norwegian lunke and Scots lunk in Shetland dialects. Related to Old English huncettan (“to cause to limp, halt”), from a related noun + *hunc + -ettan. See: Proto-Germanic '
*hinkaną', Old High German 'hinchan', German, old spelling '
hinken', Dutch '
hinken', Icelandic '
hinka', Swedish '
lunka'.
