Etymology

Contraction of eines (genitive neuter of ein), from Middle High German eines, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *ainas, form of *ainaz (“one”). Doublet of einst (“once”). 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.

Translation

  1. only used in (sich) eins sein (“to agree”) and (sich) eins werden (“to arrive at an agreement”)

    Wir sind über den Preis nicht eins geworden.

    We couldn't agree on the price.
