Etymology
The word 'won' has its origins in the Old English word 'winnan,' which means 'to strive' or 'to struggle.' This word has a link to the Proto-Germanic root '*winnan,' which also means 'to win or gain.' As the English language evolved, 'winnan' transformed into 'win,' and the past tense form became 'won.' The term 'won' entered common usage around the 15th century. Over the centuries, it has maintained its core meaning of achieving victory or success in various contexts. Today, 'won' is widely used in sports, competitions, and informal situations to denote triumph.
