Etymology
Recorded since 1553, a blend of and. The former verb is from, from +. The latter is derived from the noun at hand in. For the formation compare 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, with cognate roots.

The -sound was preserved by being redistributed to the preceding syllable: >. The -c- was inserted accordingly to reflect this pronunciation more clearly.
