ingot: [14] The etymological meaning of ingot is ‘poured in’. It was formed in Middle English from in and an apparent survival of goten, the past participle of Old English geotan ‘pour’. It originally meant ‘mould for casting metal’ (the idea being that the molten metal was ‘poured into’ the mould), but towards the end of the 16th century it started being used for the lump of metal formed in this way. (When French borrowed the word in the 15th century it grafted its definite article on to it, giving modern French lingot ‘ingot’.)
ingot (n.)
late 14c., "mold in which metal is cast," probably from in- (2) "in" + Old English goten, past participle of geotan "to pour" (see found (v.2)). Sense of "mass of cast metal" first attested early 15c.
