Etymology of WRUNG

The word "wrung" traces its origins back to the Old English verb "wringan". In Old English, "wrīngan" meant "to twist, turn, or wrench". This verb eventually gave rise to the Middle English verb "wringen", retaining the same basic meaning of twisting or squeezing forcefully. Over time, this verb developed into the past tense form "wrunge" or "wrang" and later evolved into "wrung", which is the modern past participle form of the verb "wring".
