    The origin of "abandon" and "random"
    (Adam Mickiewicz University, 2010) Diensberg, Bernhard
    Modern English ban and related lexemes will be shown to have their origin in common with abandon, the latter of disputed etymology. This applies to a still greater extent to random, for the origin of which a plausible solution will be presented. A last paragraph is devoted to the etymology of Modern English PLAN.
