+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * /ˈaɪ̯nzats/^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''Einsatz''' ''m'' (genitive Einsatzes, plural Einsätze)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|gmh|īnsaz|t=putting in; something put in]], a noun formed from the verb [[einsetzen]].^(DWB2|7, 933)^(Köbler MHD)^(Wiktionary DE) In modern terms it is [[ein-]] + [[Satz]], a noun that Kluge takes as formed from the verb “to set”.^(Wiktionary)^(Kluge 2011|788) The verb [[setzen]] is [[m|goh|sezzen]], [[gem-pro|*satjaną|t=to put]], the causative of [[sitzen]].^(Kluge 2011|846)^(Kroonen 2013)^(Pfeifer 1993) The same formation is [[nl|inzet]] and [[en|inset]].^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The first record, in a charter of 1311, uses ''insatz'' for a batch put in at one time: sixty loads of salt delivered to the salt pans.^(DWB2|7, 933)^(Köbler MHD)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The word followed the senses of ''einsetzen'': fish put into a pond, young plants set out, nested weights, boxes or bowls, a salve put on a horse, the stake in a game or a wager, a pledge, and the installation of someone in an office.^(DWB|3, 265)^(Adelung 1793) Adelung still records the stake in a lottery and the investiture.^(Adelung 1793)

+

+ The military sense comes from the verb, used of troops from 1893; the noun was used of the deployment of troops in the First World War.^(Paul 2002) It then spread to civilian life (the use of means, staff or machines), and was much used in the National Socialist period for assigning “forces” to their place by plan.^(Paul 2002) In sport it came to mean effort and commitment, and often a hard style of play.^(Paul 2002) In music it is the entry of a voice or an instrument, a sense also used in English.^(Duden GWDS 1999)^(LWP) Polish borrowed it as ''anzac'' “zeal, enthusiasm”, recorded in 1900.^(LWP)
