    From Middle High German ëȥ, from Old High German , from Proto-Germanic *it (it). Compare English it, which instead descends from Proto-Germanic *hit (it).

      3. she (when the grammatical gender of the noun being referred to and designating a feminine person, is neuter [das])
        Das Mädchen wusste nicht, dass es beobachtet wurde. The girl didn’t know that she was being observed.
        • 1952, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Das dicke Kind:
          Das Kind sagte nichts und sah mich mit seinen kühlen Augen an. Dann war es fort.
          The child said nothing and looked at me with her cold eyes. Then she was gone.
    2. (impersonal) it, that, there (used to refer to statements, activities, the environment etc., or as a placeholder/dummy pronoun)
      Das kann es nicht geben. This is nothing that could possibly exist. (literally, “This, that cannot be.”)

    Usage notes
    • As a pronoun standing in for nouns which are grammatically neutral and which refer to people, it is sometimes considered old-fashioned or dated to insist on using the neutral es instead of er/sie, especially for Mädchen, in spoken language, and when there is a large distance between when the person is introduced and when the corresponding pronoun is used.
    • In a small and closed set of phrases, es continues a Middle High German ës which was the genitive of ëz: Ich bin es müde ‘I am tired of it’.
    • In the colloquial speech of some areas, this pronoun is fully replaced with the demonstrative pronoun das, with which it shares the unstressed reduction /s/. This reflects a similar development for sie/die, but predates it.

    Etymology 1

    From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ēź-, from Proto-Indo-European *eǵ (from *éǵh₂).

    The non-nominative forms derive from Proto-Indo-European dependent stem *me- (the a instead of e in the Baltic languages appears to result from Iranian influence): reduplicated *me-me-*meneProto-Baltic genitive/accusative *mane*manen (by analogy with other accusatives) → *manens (by analogy with other genitives) → genitive manis, while *manen → accusative mani. Dative man comes from an older *mani. Instrumental variant manim imitates the nominal i-stem paradigm.

    Cognates include Lithuanian (archaic ), Old Prussian es, as, Sudovian as, Proto-Slavic *(j)azъ (Old Church Slavonic азъ (azŭ), Old East Slavic ꙗзъ (jazŭ), Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian я (ja), Bulgarian аз (az), Czech (from jaz), Polish ja (from jaz)), Proto-Germanic *ekan, *ek (Gothic 𐌹𐌺 (ik), Old Norse ek, Old High German ih, German ich, Old English ic, English I), Hittite [script needed] (uk), Sanskrit अहम् (ahám), Avestan 𐬀𐬰𐬆𐬨 (azəm), Ancient Greek ἐγώ (egṓ), Latin ego, Ossetian ӕз (æz).[1]
