Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Germanic *sinkwaną, from Proto-Indo-European *sengʷ- (to sink, to drop). The -nk--kk- and other nasal-stop assimilations often caused restoration of Pre-Proto-Germanic *e from traditional *i, compare kreppa and detta.

Compare Old English sincan, Old Frisian sinka, Old Saxon sinkan, Old High German sinkan, Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌲𐌵𐌰𐌽 (sigqan).
