Etymology

[edit]

From 𐌿𐌽- (un-) +‎ π…πŒ΄πŒ½πƒ (wΔ“ns, β€œhope, expectation”) +‎ -𐍉 (-ō). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. there appears to be a suffix -iggs acting adverbially as an intermediate step (*unweniggs + -o, where *unweniggs would mean unexpected), but that is a noun suffix (see the entry at *-πŒΉπŒ²πŒ²πƒ), not an adjective suffix. What gives?
