Verb form from Middle Englishonen.
Around the 14th century, in southwest and western England, the word began to be pronounced with an initial /w/ (compare e.g. woak, Middle English wocke, a dialectal form of oak), and the spellings won and wone began to be found alongside on, one; the /w/ had become the norm by the 18th century. In alone, atone, and only, as well as in the dialectal form un, 'un (and in none and no), the older pronunciations without /w/ are preserved, while once shows the same /w/.
