Etymology of MISGIVEN

The word "misgiven" is a past participle form of the verb "misgive". The term "misgive" originated from the combination of the prefix "mis-" which means "wrongly" or "incorrectly", and the verb "give".

The word "give" can be traced back to the Old English word "giefan", which itself has Germanic origins. Over time, "give" evolved from Old English to Middle English, maintaining its core meaning of "to present, bestow, or grant".

The addition of the prefix "mis-" to "give" in Middle English created "misgive", which initially meant "to give wrongly or improperly". However, as language evolved, "misgive" gradually shifted in meaning to its current usage, signifying doubt, mistrust, or fear.
