"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Danish ensom (“lonely, alone”), a form remodeled under the influence of German einsam (“lonely, solitary”) and the suffix -som (“adjective-forming suffix”); from Old Danish ensamæn (“alone”), corresponding to Old Norse einn saman (“alone, literally “one together””), later also einnsamann and einnsamall (“alone”).\nBy surface analysis, en- + som.\nCompare Norwegian Nynorsk einsam, Danish ensom, Swedish ensam, Icelandic einsamall and Dutch eenzaam (“lonely, solitary”).",
