    [Noun]  | "edge" | \ ˈej \


    1: the cutting side of a blade

    2: the sharpness of a blade

    3: force, effectiveness


    Origin: before 12th century ;

     Middle English egge, going back to Old English ecg "cutting side of a blade, border," going back to Germanic *agjō "cutting side of a blade" (whence also Old Frisian eg "cutting side of a blade, sword," Old Saxon eggia, Old High German egga, ekka "cutting side of a blade, border, point, corner," Old Norse egg "cutting side of a blade"), feminine noun derivative from Indo-European *h2eḱ- "sharp, pointed," whence also Latin aciēs "sharp part of a weapon";

      * Note : The base *h2eḱ- "sharp, pointed" was productive of a large number of suffixed derivatives in the Indo-European daughter languages. Latin had a verbal base deriving from 2eḱ-eh1- "to be sharp" (see: {acetic acid|acetic acid}, {acid:2|acid:2}) and a presumed adjectival stem *acū- "sharp" (see: {acute|acute}). An apparently isolated derivative is Greek akmḗ "highest point" (see: {acme|acme}). For the derivative *h2eḱ-r-/h2oḱ-r-, with outcomes in Greek, Latin, and other languages, see: {acro-|acr-}, {mediocre|mediocre}. See also , {ear:2|ear:2}.;
