Hungarian

Etymology

edit

Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. Conversion by deliberate coinage from peng (“to ring, clink”) +‎ -e (obsolete present-participle suffix). For the semantic change, compare German Klinge (“blade”) from klingen (“to ring, clink”). In terms of form, a split took place from cognate pengő.[1] The later slang (adjective) sense may well be a metaphorical reference to the edge of a blade.
