Etymology

edit

From Proto-Finnic *konëh, from Pre-Finnic *konïš, borrowed from Pre-Germanic *gn̥ni̯o- (later Proto-Germanic *kunją (omen, portent, miracle)), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃-. Cognates include Old Norse kyn (wonder). The original meaning in Finnish was "magic, magic trick".[1] The development of senses attested in the written language is "means, method" (1725), "tool" (1734), "apparatus, instrument" (1745), "machine" (1770s).[2] Cognate with Karelian koneh (magic), konehtie (to conjure) and Estonian kõne (speech).
