gewunian

ġe- +‎ wunian. Cognate with Old Saxon giwunōn, Old High German giwonēn.

• IPA^(key): /jeˈwu.ni.ɑn/

ġewunian

1. to stand by (someone), support
2. to be used/accustomed to (sometimes impersonal, with dative of person)

• In the sense of "to be used/accustomed to", what one is accustomed to may be indicated with the preposition tō, with an infinitive (both inflected and uninflected infinitives being attested), or with a subordinate clause introduced by þæt. There is considerable variation in whether the verb is used personally or impersonally, although using it in the passive voice is common in both scenarios.
