different between inkling vs suggestion
inkling
English
Pronunciation
- (Received Pronunciation, General American) IPA(key): /???kl??/
- Hyphenation: inkl?ing
Etymology 1
From Middle English ningkiling, nyngkiling (“hint, slight indication; mention, whisper”), and then either:
- possibly a variant of nikking, nyckyng (“hint, slight indication; mention, whisper”), possibly from nikken (“to mark (a text) for correction (?)”) + -ing, -inge (suffix forming gerunds from verbs); or
- from inklen (“to mention (in a low voice); to tell (the truth)”) [and other forms] + -ing, -inge; inklen may be derived from inca, inke (“dread, fear; doubt; danger, risk (?)”), from Old English inca (“doubt, uncertainty; suspicion; fear; cause for complaint, grievance, grudge, ill-will, offence; quarrel; occasion, opportunity”), from Proto-Germanic *inkô (“ache; grief; regret”), from Proto-Indo-European *h?eng-, *yen?- (“illness”). The English word would then be analysable as inkle +? -ing.
Sense 3 (“desire, inclination”) may have been influenced by incline (“to tend to believe or do something”) or French enclin (“inclined, prone”).
