Origin & History

Formed in English from gainful (meaning ‘profitable’) + -ness (a noun-forming suffix meaning ‘state/quality’); gainful derives from gain (from Old French gaigne/gaaigner, related to ‘to earn, to win’).

यह अंग्रेज़ी में gainful (अर्थ ‘लाभकारी’) + -ness (अवस्था/गुण बताने वाला प्रत्यय) से बना है; gainful, gain से बना है, जिसका स्रोत पुरानी फ़्रेंच gaigne/gaaigner माना जाता है (अर्थ ‘कमाना/जीतना’ से संबद्ध)।
