Etymology
The verb 'won' comes from the Old English word 'winnan', which means 'to strive, struggle, or win'. Over time, the word evolved, and its past tense form became 'won.' 'Wonned' appears to be a rare, possibly dialectal or archaic variant reflecting a time when English had various forms and pronunciations. As English transitioned through the Middle Ages into Modern English, many words lost their inflectional endings, and 'wonned' likely fell out of common use. Its usage today is mostly limited to historical texts or contexts that aim to evoke a sense of antiquity or archaic flavor, contributing to Englishโs rich linguistic history.
