Etymology
The word 'wan' is derived from the Old English 'wanian', which means 'to decrease or diminish.' It is related to the Middle Dutch word 'wanen' and the Old High German 'wanลn', which also convey a sense of reduction or decline. Over the centuries, 'wan' evolved and its usage became more specialized in describing the fading of light or vigour. The variant 'wanned' emerged as a past participle to indicate the completion of this fading process. It reflects a linguistic shift that aligns with the usage of other past tense forms in the English language, showcasing the evolution of language and its poetic embellishments.
