Etymology 2
Contraction of eines (genitive neuter of ein), from Middle High GermanCategory:German terms inherited from Middle High German#EINSCategory:German terms derived from Middle High German#EINS eines, ultimately from Proto-GermanicCategory:German terms inherited from Proto-Germanic#EINSCategory:German terms derived from Proto-Germanic#EINS *ainas, form of *ainaz (“one”). Doublet of einst (“once”)Category:German doublets#EINS. That this use is an original genitive results from the Middle High German spelling as well as from the fact that those dialects with an unshifted final -t in etymology 1 (Central Franconian, Low Franconian, Low German) invariably have -s here; cf. Dutch eens.
