ANGUISH. A
variant form of Teutonic Inguis
(q.v.),
meaning "wise son." Some authors take it literally, from
the vocabulary word, meaning "anguish, pain." It may
sometimes represent Angus.
In Arthurian
legend, this is the name of the father of Iseult.
... In Hanmer's Chronicle, King
Arthur visits Ireland and converses with King Anguish, which painful
title is precisely that which Henry VIII., in his correspondence, gives
his brother-in-law, the Earl of Angus... (History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884).
It is
probable that the stem ing, inc, though its etymology is not yet
explained, has the meaning of son, offspring, and is cognate with Eng.
"young."...
... (Wis, sapiens) Old Germ. Inguis, 9th cent.—Eng. Anguish...
(The Teutonic Name-System &c., Ferguson, 1864)
"I am
of the country of Lyonesse, and my name is Tristram, [and I have] been
wounded in a battle as I fought for a lady's right."
"Truly," said King Anguish, "ye shall
have all the help in this land that ye may have here. But I let
you wit in Cornwall I had a great loss as ever had king, for there I
lost the best knight of the world, his name was Marhaus, a full noble
knight, and knight of the Table Round;" and there he told Sir
Tristram wherefore Sir Marhaus was slain. Sir Tristram made
semblant [like] as he had been sorry, and better knew he how it
was than the king. (The Boy's King Arthur, Malory-Lanier, 1880)
