There are two possible interpretations for the word "harnage", both with different origins:
1. If you are referring to the word "harnage" as a variation of "harness", the etymology of "harness" can be traced back to the Old French word "harnois", which meant "armor" or "gear". This word descended from the Old High German "h(a)rnist" and the Proto-Germanic "hurniz". Over time, "harnois" developed into "harness" in Middle English, referring to the equipment used to attach a horse to a carriage or plow.
2. However, if you are inquiring about the word "harnage", which sometimes appears as a variant of "harness", its origin is unclear. It could be a simple misspelling or a regional variation.
