Etymograph

English

en-

From Middle English en- (“en-, in-”).

The story

Both the Latin and the Germanic forms are from Proto-Indo-European *en (‘in, into’). Intensive use of Old French en-, an- is due to confluence with Frankish *an- and *in- (intensive prefixes), related to Old English on- and in- (intensive prefixes).

Today it means

prefix in, into
