Meaning & Origin of Gang
Origin: Mandarin.
A common claim: Gang is said to mean 'firm, unyielding, hard-edged.' Actually: Wiktionary shows no Chinese sense for 'Gang' — only the unrelated Germanic word 'gang' (corridor, gait, motion) and the river name Ganges. The 'firm, unyielding' sense (刚) isn't documented there.
