dawningn.

Brit.

/ˈdɔːnɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈdɔnɪŋ/,

/ˈdɑnɪŋ/

Forms: Also Middle English dawynyng, Middle English dawenyng(e, Middle English–1500s dawnyng(e, Middle English–1500s daunyng(e.

Etymology: Known before 1300, when it appears beside the earlier dawing n. (from daw v.¹, Old English dagung , dag-ian ), which it gradually superseded. The corresponding verb to dawn , which has similarly displaced daw , is not exemplified till the 15th cent., and appears to have been deduced < dawning ; the noun dawn appeared still later, apparently from the verb. As Middle English daw-en had also an early doublet daiȝ-en , day-yn (see day v.¹), so beside dawen-yng is found daiȝen-ing , daien-ing , dain-ing (see dayn v.). No form corresponding to dawening, dawning is recorded in Old English, and it was probably < Norse; Swedish and Danish have a form dagning (Old Swedish daghningc1300), either fromdaga to dawn, with suffix -n-ing, as in kvað-n-ing, sað-n-ing, tal-n-ing, etc. (Vigfusson Introd. xxxi), or from a derivative verb *dagna.

a. The beginning of daylight; dawn, daybreak. In reference to time, now poetic or rhetorical.
