Origin of the word gone

The word "gone" originates from the Old English word "gan," meaning "to go." Over time, "gan" evolved into "gon," and eventually, "gone." The "e" at the end was added for grammatical reasons, making it a past participle of "go." "Gone" initially meant "having gone" or "having departed." It eventually expanded to signify the state of being absent, missing, or lost.
