Etymology
The native form in most dialects was Old High German indi, whence the variant en. In parts of the Eifel, this indi regularly becomes on (compare Luxembourgish an). In southern and eastern dialects, on the other hand, on may have been inherited from the Old High German variant unde (unti). From these two groups of dialects, the form will have spread, without doubt under influence of Немачки und.

Etymology
From Стари Француски hom, om (nominative form), from Латински homō (“human being”) (compare homme from the Old French oblique form home, from the Latin accusative form hominem). Its pronominal use is of Германски origin. Compare Стари Енглески man (“one, they, people”), reduced form of Стари Енглески mann (“person”); Каталонски hom; Немачки man (“one, they, people”); Холандски men (“one, they, people”).
Pronunciation

Usage notes
- In informal French, on has almost completely replaced the pronoun nous (“we”) to indicate the first person plural.

- On y est allé / allés / allées. ― We went there.
- On est prêt / prêts / prêtes. ― We are ready.
- The variant l’on is used in more formal or literary contexts. Some use it especially after que (que l'on) to avoid the contraction qu’on, which is homophonous with the vulgar word con.
