15世纪初,“抵押”(某物作为付款的保证),源自古法语词汇 engagier “约束(通过承诺或誓言),抵押”,来自短语 en gage “以抵押品作担保”,由 en “在”(见 en-(1))+ gage “抵押品”组成,通过弗兰克语从原始日耳曼语的 *wadiare “抵押品”演变而来(参见 wed)。它显示了日耳曼语 -w- 与中部法语 -g- 的共同演变(参见 gu-)。
意味着“吸引并占据注意力”始于1640年代; “雇用,为援助,工作或使用而保证”始于1640年代,意味着“像抵押品一样绑定”; 意味着“与人进行战斗或比赛”始于1640年代。具体指“承诺结婚”的含义是1610年代(纳入 engaged 中)。机械意义始于1884年。德语 engagiren 、荷兰语 engageren 、丹麦语 engagere 也来源于法语词源。
