Etymology

From Middle English ynogh, from Old English ġenōg (“enough”), from Proto-Germanic *ganōgaz (“enough”) (compare Scots eneuch, West Frisian genôch, Dutch genoeg, German genug, Low German noog, Danish nok, Swedish nog, Icelandic nógur), from *ganuganą 'to suffice' (compare Old English ġeneah), or from *ga- + an unattested *nōgaz, probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₂nó(n)ḱe (“he has reached, attained”), perfective of *h₂neḱ- (“to reach”) (compare Old Irish tánaic (“he arrived”), Latin nancisci (“to get”), Lithuanian nèšti (“to carry”), Albanian kënaq (“to please, satisfy”), Ancient Greek ἐνεγκεῖν (enenkeîn, “to carry”).).

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ɪˈnʌf/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /ɪˈnʌf/, /i-/, /ə-/
  • Rhymes: -ʌf

Determiner

enough

  1. Sufficient; all that is required, needed, or appropriate.
    1. Used before a noun in the manner of words like some, a bit of, and so on.
    2. (archaic) Used after a noun.

Usage notes

When used after a noun, the article is omitted, and it often describes an inherent adjectival quality of that noun rather than a tangible portion. Thus one hears

 He is man enough for the job
 He is the man enough for the job.
 He is a man enough for the job.

Translations

Adverb

enough

  1. Sufficiently.
    You've worked enough; rest for a bit.
  2. Fully; quite; used after adjectives to express slight augmentation of the positive degree, and sometimes equivalent to very.

    I left my camera on the train, but luckily enough someone handed it in to lost property.

Usage notes

  • As an adverb, in modern English, enough almost always follows the verb, adjective or adverb that it qualifies. In older language and certain dialects, cases where it precedes the modified word, e.g. "He was enough satisfied" or "I was not enough recompensed", may be seen.
  • The archaic form enow was remarked as early as Samuel Johnson to be used for plural nouns.
