pang

== English == === Etymology 1 === The origin of the noun is uncertain; it is possibly derived from Middle English *pange, perhaps an altered form of prange, prōnge (“affliction, agony, pain; pointed instrument”) as in prongys of deth (“pangs of death, death throes”), from Anglo-Latin pronga, of unknown origin. Perhaps connected with Middle Dutch prange, pranghe (“instrument for pinching”) (modern Dutch prang (“horse restraint; fetter, neck iron”)), Middle Low German prange (“pole, stake; (possibly) kind of pillory or stocks”), Old English pyngan (“to prick”). The word may thus be related to prong. The verb is derived from the noun. ==== Pronunciation ==== (without æ-raising) IPA(key): /ˈpæŋ/, [ˈpʰæŋ] (US, Canada, without æ-raising) IPA(key): /ˈpeɪ̯ŋ/, [ˈpʰeɪ̯ŋ]; /ˈpɛ̃ŋ/, [ˈpʰɛ̃ŋ] Rhymes: -æŋ Hyphenation: pang ==== Noun ==== pang (plural pangs) (often in the plural) A paroxysm of extreme physical pain or anguish; a feeling of sudden and transitory agony; a throe.
