Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ā́ˀgnent-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂egʷn-, the stem of *h₂egʷnós, with the suffix *-ę for forming names of young animals. Acute accent and long initial vowel in Early Proto-Slavic are due to Winter's law.
Cognate with Latin agnus, Ancient Greek ἀμνός (amnós) and Old English ēanian (English yean).
