Where it comes from
From Middle English wone, variant of wane, from Old Norse ván (“hope, expectation”). The senses relating to dwelling-places apparently derive from the sense relating to expectation, i.e. the home as the place one is expected to be; cf. von (“place where one expects to find fish”).
