Etymology

Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word '*nฤ“hwan', which also reflects similar meanings in related languages. Over time, it has been used in English to describe the characteristic sound that horses produce. The usage of the term has been consistent in equestrian contexts, where understanding and interpreting a horse's vocalizations is essential for communication and training. Historically, the sound of a horse has been significant in agriculture and transport, as horses were widely used as working animals across different cultures and periods. Understanding their sounds, including 'neighing', has been valuable for handlers and riders.
