Etymology

The verb 'gang' comes from the Middle English 'gange', which itself is derived from the Old Norse 'gangr' meaning 'a going, a walk, or a journey'. Originally, it referred to a group of persons or things going together, and over time it evolved to indicate a group of people banding together for a common purpose. By the early 19th century, the term gained a more negative connotation, often linked to groups involved in crime or delinquency. The use of 'ganged' as the past participle highlights the action of forming such a group. This transformation in meaning reflects social attitudes towards collective behavior, where the implications can range from benevolent cooperation to a detrimental collaboration, depending on context.
