### Etymology

Originally a plural of penning (“coin”), related to English penny. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *panningaz. Compare Icelandic peningar, Faroese pengar, Norwegian Nynorsk pengar, Norwegian Bokmål penger, and Swedish pengar.

## Hungarian
### Etymology

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. The later slang (adjective) sense may well be a metaphorical reference to the edge of a blade.

* IPA: [ˈpɛŋɡɛ]
* Hyphenation: pen‧ge
