struggle

Etymology
From, , , of obscure origin. Cognate with 🇨🇬. Perhaps from a variant of, > English, from  "to stumble, trip, falter"; > Modern Dutch, the frequentative form of , from , , from , , related to 🇨🇬 "to stumble"; > 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,  "to stumble, trip, tumble, go astray"; > 🇨🇬,.

Alternative etymology derives the base of struggle from +, from , ultimately from the same Proto-Indo-European root above, which would make it cognate with dialectal 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
