Etymology 1

From English game, from Middle English game, gamen, gammen, from Old English gamen (“sport, joy, mirth, pastime, game, amusement, pleasure”), from Proto-Germanic *gamaną (“amusement, pleasure, game", literally "participation, communion, people together”), from *ga- (collective prefix) + *mann- (“man”); or alternatively from *ga- + a root from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think, have in mind”).

The original English /-ɛɪ-/ pronunciation is raised to /-ɪ-/, likely being in accordance with rules of loans from Dutch like praktijk (pronounced with /-ɛɪ-/) → praktik.
