different between wing vs supplement
wing
English
Etymology
From Middle English winge, wenge, from Old Norse vængr (“wing”), from Proto-Germanic *w?inga, *w?ingan-. Cognate with Danish vinge (“wing”), Swedish vinge (“wing”), Icelandic vængur (“wing”), West Frisian wjuk (“wing”), from *h?weh?- (“to blow”), thus related to wind. Replaced native Middle English fither (from Old English fiþre, from Proto-Germanic *fiþrij?), which merged with fether (from Old English feþer, from Proto-Germanic *feþr?). More at feather.
